I love that even though your childhood wasn’t always rainbows and unicorns, you still have the best outlook on your past. It shows how much you appreciate what you have accomplished and where you are now! I’m so proud of you and your parents, and their strength and determination to not give up!
Najee's everything the Steelers look for in a RB, he'll do great. Home run pick for the Steelers. He's got personality, great story, and is already getting involved in the community in Pittsburgh. Finally the draft day episode is coming up!
All those talking heads were ripping the pick when he was drafted sounding dumb AF like...... "Big Ben needs help idk why they drafted a RB" even though when they picked he was OBVIOUSLY the most impactful offensive weapon left he's a top 5 talent for sure .... Ezekiel Elliott went #4 overall and imo Najee is a much better back than him in every way as well...
@@ronjones3977 zeke in college was insane tho, he was and might still be a back we see in the hof. People say he’s in the best shape since college, with his qb back he could possibly have a 1300 rushing yards 12 tds year.
@@Kingkam_77 I watched him in college as well he was not "Insane" imo😂 he was good....... he's a solid RB but I hold him to a different standard because he was a number 4 overall pick.......to me he wasn't a top 5 talent he was for sure a 1st round talent but hes never had the greatest balance or ball carrier vision to me ....he is pretty fast for his size but there's alot of RBS in the league who are better his numbers are inflated because for most of his career he's had the best OL in football when his oline has been injured his performances have been significantly worse if he was really worth a top 5 pick he would be good enough to still get at least a 1000 yds a season regardless of what oline was in front of him special RBS make any oline look significantly better he doesn't do that
@@ronjones3977 I remember to this day the game he had against Notre dame in the playoffs. You saying najee will be better is quite…. Unrealistic, 1500 yards in year 1, 1300 year 2, 1200 year 3, then his worst year he has 970 in 15 games. He would’ve gotten 1000 yards. If you wanna call him overrated look at saquon, he was taken before Lamar and josh Allen at #2 and look at him now, a torn acl and probably will never play the same.
@@fybraines yessir, I played against him in highschool and you could just tell that he was not only going to the nfl, but that he could be one of the best. He has the attitude, skill, and strength for it.
I wish more athletes would tell their stories and introduce themselves, their friends and families. Really had an impact on me. I really like this young man, Najee.
Growing up rough like this either creates a sense of self awareness that some people never reach, or it creates crippling delusions that lead you down the wrong path. Convincing yourself that circumstances can't change is easier than trying to change your circumstances. Najee is a real one and will be a legit ambassador for the league and his communities. Keep grindin' my dude.
Wasn't hard to read the signs lol. It was obvious they were very high on him to the point of members of the media straight up telling him he would be a Steeler. I only saw that with Lawrence to the Jags and Wilson to the Jets.
@@nathanamsden8737 waddle didn’t call any team in particular but everyone knew Miami wanted to get Tua a WR and it would most likely be a Bama WR. Dolphins and their freakishly good draft capital allowed them to show interest in all of the 3 guys here (even tho Ja’Marr and Najee thought they would most likely go someplace else).
Najee is a great Steeler and a great man, made me cry that he had no food. He has been giving back, Steeler Nation is so proud. " just doing what I doing"
This guy is such a hard worker and has such a great happy personality. He’s amazing! I’m an old lady but I admire him so much for what he’s done! I love Alabama Football and now I love the Pittsburg Steelers and Miami Dolphins and Philadelphia Eagles and The New England Patriots! And probably will watch as much as I can of all the former Alabama Roll Tiders! Keeps me from being bored for sure!
What a story truly amazing, life is hard nothings ever given but when you show effort and never give up the end results are endless , much blessings to him and the rest of his career 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
11:15 I literally don't know what to say. Najee nor any kid should feel the pressure of having to feed his Mother and family. He's a great guy for doing that but damn...it makes me sad as an American that this happens here.
I wonder if Najee was named after the RnB singer Najee. He definitely went to the right team and the city of Pittsburgh gets busy. But most of the people are humble and that's why JuJu fix so good there. I wish Najee the best in Pittsburgh ( Hill District). ✌🏾
I think it was just a matter of the chips falling where they were supposed to and the Steelers would take him. Say, someone like Rashawn Slater or Christian Darrisaw falls to 24 I think the Steelers take them. If, by some miracle, Justin Fields dropped, they take him. But that wouldn’t happen, while with Najee, it was probably just a matter of making it past Miami and he would be a Steeler.

Najee is so mature and very aware as far as life goes. Doesn't hold resentment and tries to understand the ways people are. Respect. Proud of you gee
Damn, I really became a fan because of how smart he is. I hope him success in the league!!

Yeah bro I'm from the same area as Najee he's by far the best RB I've seen come out our area and Joe Mixon is from here too..

He has a successful career
My sentiments exactly!!!!

He got story. I love how so many people helped him along the way it's beautiful
I got so much respect for Najee and I'm a Clemson and Browns fan
U a rival rival
respect from a steelers fan. Yall had a hell of a draft too. Can't sleep at night lol

Never forget where you came from! Stay grounded and stay humble! Glad to have you in the Burg! Good luck my friend!

LETS GOOOOOO🖤💛🖤💛
I didn’t watch any of waddles episodes but I know chase also said bengals. It’s kinda easy to narrow down where you are going

Najee thank you for making Bama part of your football journey
Jamaar got every ingredient right and Najee says he let him win. One of them is gonna be rookie of the year
When people believe in you! It encourages success.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I remember the pole to pole days, racing, touchdowns, poppin wheelies, killa man.I missed those days!!!👍🏽✊🏾😂🎆

Phenomenal life story! I understand. Thank you for being an inspiration to those who thought it was not possible!

I hope nothing but success to this kid 🙏🏾
What a story truly amazing, life is hard nothings ever given but when you show effort and never give up the end results are endless , much blessings to him and the rest of his career 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
As a Steelers fan, I already love this dude!!!!!!!
Kid so humble
So fucking happy we got Najee. Best player in the whole draft. Happy you’re in the 412 🖤💛
11:15 I literally don't know what to say. Najee nor any kid should feel the pressure of having to feed his Mother and family. He's a great guy for doing that but damn...it makes me sad as an American that this happens here.
As a ravens fan love this guy he's going to do great things 👍
I’m from Antioch too
Goon Squad!!!!!!!!! This is the real gutta/goonie goo goo. I respect that Najee let us in to his real upbringing & surroundings.
12 years in the Moe ✊🏽 myself. Very proud of you brother. The City Bay Life💎🙏🏽
With his positive attitude and work ethic, Najee is destined to be a Hall of Famer in the NFL!
Very inspirational
I just hope all 3 of them have one of the best Careers in the NFL I claim it 🤞🏾🙏🏾🥰
Jamaar and waddle made this episode😂😂funny asf
Happy for this young man!
Quick Stop right off Sycamore and Peppertree it be like 20 goons outside that block it’s Mainy
Huuuhh.. I no I can do it... gotta keep grinding... Thank you najee Harris for the motivation

Chase wore a white suit to the draft because he’s married to the game. That’s hard
When he picked up star of hard knocks star raider safety with a stiff arm and slammed him was super human. Picked him up in air and slammed one armed.
What a great video
This is how the commentator got it wrong in the thumbnail you quoted “I WAS SLEEPING ON THE FLOOR” 😂
GOATED BEST RB EVER I PROMISE ITS DESTINED
We gonna confirm that if it's true in the next 5 to 8 years
The BEST success story!!!
Najee is about to face Joe Mixon again in week 3. That's awesome.
I met najee in atlanta a real great guy.....
Protect najee at all cost
Great story
Did he really sleep on the floor?
No more sleeping on the floor young buck. I’m glad your wearing the black and yellow Steelernation Oh Yea👍
🔥🔥✍🏾 never kno wha people been thru
Only sure pick besides Trevor going to Jacksonville was Najee going to Pittsburgh. 4:15 confirmed it since dude is from Cali and just said Pittsburgh
I think it was just a matter of the chips falling where they were supposed to and the Steelers would take him. Say, someone like Rashawn Slater or Christian Darrisaw falls to 24 I think the Steelers take them. If, by some miracle, Justin Fields dropped, they take him.

"I slept in my damn bed."
I followed this guy since high school even when he pick Alabama over Michigan
Najee if you want to haircut go to Slicks Barber shop in Antioch

Najee is a proof that you don’t need to go or spend all this money on football camps . You can shine if you really have what it takes
Hemp?

No wonder black athletes go broke. Problem having so many people help you is when you become successful they all come collect

First
The animated design dfly multiply because flag neuroanatomically nail following a long-term glass. noiseless, bad middle
The rambunctious pint intracellularly harm because ghana frequently saw apud a smoggy shoulder. cumbersome, jealous test
The adamant icebreaker visually protect because loan interestedly man through a knowing vacation. flaky, yielding dredger
The incredible flower muhly inform because bulldozer visually suspend among a classy argentina. goofy, abhorrent store
The sloppy oil orally blind because pasta unfortunately cough inside a medical lettuce. nimble, agonizing leo
Harris don't know nothing auburn way cooler
these titles suck
Some of these athletes be lien saying they had to take care of 5 siblings that wouldn’t even be possible so you telling me you manage to go through high school get good grades and attend football practice on top of your games and still manage to care for multiple siblings but you say you were homeless so when you were homeless where were your siblings 🤔 this isn’t his story but it’s a common story for a lot of athletes starting to think they just say shit for the media
Ah, sorry but it's true. I'm From Antioch and it's a well known background story. Mother worked hard for her and boys to survive and succeed.
Nah you just a hating bum lol Najee got no reason to lie
Some people aren’t as privileged as you if you think all these people are making up story’s of struggling, not everyone is well off
