Najee Harris has a case to be the first running back off the board in this year's NFL Draft. After dominating at Alabama for multiple years, Harris will join a long list of Crimson Tide backs to make the leap to the NFL under head coach Nick Saban.

While a running back isn't expected to be taken in the early portion of round one, Harris has a chance on the back end of the first round to be selected or early on in round two. Although he's not participating in Alabama's pro day, he made the drive, all NINE hours of it to be in attendance. Why would he do that?

Had Najee Harris packed it up and went back home after his flight cancelation, not a single soul would've blamed him. What does he do instead? He gets in a car and drives nine hours to provide support for his teammates that are taking part in the pro day in Alabama. The move is one that certainly adds to the already long list of reasons why scouts and coaches are so smitten on Harris.

Now maybe, just maybe, some of these clips are also why many have the Alabama back pegged to go early on in the draft.

The dude can do it all. He can run the ball, catch the ball, and run down guys who have the ball. What more can you ask for?

In 2020, Najee Harris rushed for 1,466 yards and 26 touchdowns while also hauling in 43 receptions for 425 yards and four touchdowns.

He's in Alabama supporting teammates at their pro day. He'll be in an NFL huddle next season.
