Alabama is relying heavily on their skill position players with Mac Jones, rather than the injured Tua Tagovailoa, as their quarterback for the 2019 edition of the Iron Bowl against Auburn. Running back Najee Harris has looked exceptional thus far, and jumped over two Auburn defenders for an early touchdown to put Bama in front.

Harris is a former 5-star recruit who really had to earn his stripes with the Crimson Tide, as he sat behind the likes of Josh Jacobs last season. Now officially the No. 1 back, he's emerged as a lead option for the Tide both in the running and passing game.

Not to mention that the kid has hops.
