Najee Harris is having his way with Kentucky as the Wildcats defense has no answer for the Alabama football bruising running back.

If it wasn’t for his teammate, Najee Harris could be joining Derrick Henry and Mark Ingram as Heisman Trophy winners from Alabama.

Even with Mac Jones putting up video-game numbers for the Crimson Tide, Harris is doing his part too, leading the nation with rushing touchdowns, including a pair in the first half vs. Kentucky.

One of his rushing touchdowns saw the big back unleash a stiff arm en route to the end zone that will be on all the highlight shows and going viral on Twitter.

Najee Harris unleashes nasty stiff-arm on touchdown

I mean, what more can you ask of the Kentucky defender? Harris is 6-foot-2 and 225-pounds and running at full speed in the open field. At that point, all you can do is pray and hope you don’t get hurt or embarrassed too much.

The good part is he didn’t get hurt, but his pride is definitely bruised. At least he can take solace in the fact that he’s far from the only player the former No. 1 recruit has wrecked on the way to the end zone, and he most definitely won’t be the last either.
