Senior Bowl 2021: Ten offensive players who would help the Miami Dolphins
Big news out of the Senior Bowl late Wednesday:
Alabama running back Najee Harris will not only participate next week, he hass been assigned to the National team and the Dolphins’ coaching staff. And unlike Devonta Smith, his mending collegiate teammate, Harris hopes to do on-field work.
“The plan is for Najee to be a full participant during the week, however he has been dealing with an ankle injury since Notre Dame game and our medical staff will evaluate him when he gets to Mobile,” Senior Bowl executive director Jim Nagy wrote on Twitter. “Najee is the ultimate competitor and he wants to put on the pads next Tuesday.”

If cleared, Harris would be the brightest offensive star to play in the all-star showcase, but he won’t be the only attraction.
Nagy has put together another outstanding collection of fourth-year collegiate players — including several who would surely improve a Dolphins offense that ranked 23rd in yards per play last year (5.3).
