It’s no surprise that the NFL media loves talking to Najee Harris. The former Alabama standout is refreshingly candid in his answers, often including amusing details or anecdotes.
During a recent Pittsburgh Steelers media opportunity, Harris was asked about the craziest opposing crowd from his college days. In a uniquely Alabama flex, the former Crimson Tide running back had a hard time recalling a crazy crowd.
“Craziest? Outside of Alabama? I mean, it wouldn’t last long,” Harris said.
That part of the answer drew laughs from the reporters.
“I’m dead-ass serious,” Harris told them.
Harris settled on a trip to Texas A&M as the craziest opposing crowd of his Alabama career. Harris recalled the game as being in his freshman or sophomore year. UA travels to College Station in odd-numbered years, so Harris seems to best remember the 2017 crowd from his freshman season.
Harris’ Steelers open the 2021 NFL season on the road at Buffalo.
Question to Najee Harris: “what’s the craziest fan base youve played in front of, outside of Alabama?
Najee: “craziest? Outside of Alabama? I mean, it wouldn’t last long.”
