NFL Prospect Has Profane Reaction to ESPN Analyst

Don’t call out Alabama star Najee Harris. Najee is the consensus top running back prospect in the 2021 NFL draft. Harris caught wind of a scouting report written by ESPN’s Todd McShay. Harris appeared on Adam Schefter’s podcast Monday, where he responded to McShay’s report by saying, “Todd McShay can kiss my ass.”

Take a look at McShay’s scouting report below:

“Harris has excellent size and decent top-end speed. He was a much more decisive runner as a senior, showing oily hips for a big back and playing light on his feet. He gets in and out of breaks quickly, has excellent ball security and he’s a slippery runner between the tackles but he has acceleration limitations. Harris showed tremendous improvement as a pass-catcher in 2020 with a big catch radius and an ability to adjust to balls thrown outside his frame. He also shows good aggressiveness in pass pro.”

Harris told Schefter there weren’t many opportunities for Harris to catch passes until last season, so the “improvement” line irked him, according to the New York Post.

“How is he gonna say ‘He showed better production?’ I did not play my freshman or sophomore seasons, rarely, ever. I didn’t have an opportunity to show I could catch. It’s not ’cause I can’t, it’s ’cause I wasn’t in the game to show people I could catch. So let’s just stop looking at the stat sheet and watch the game.”

Why do these guys even listen to the analysts.

They’re far too sensitive. Stay off the internet if you don’t want to be criticized.
