I never understood the hate for him, always thought he was an ultra talented back who was always really good. He averaged 6.7ypc last season as a backup and over 6 ypc as a true freshman...I mean what was the beef about

Career - 34 games played
305 car, 1,941 yards, 6.4 ypc, 13 TD
29 rec, 267 yards 11.3 ypr, 5 TD

Compare that to Bama fan favorite Josh Jacobs career - 40 games played:
251 car, 1,491 yards, 5.9 ypc, 16 TD
48 rec, 571 yards, 11.9 ypr, 5 TD



I've argued this on the Bama board, using Jacobs last year as reference, several times. Still, folks totally ignore the numbers and facts, and just have it in their minds that he wasn't that good before Saturday. Its mind blowing.

He showed why he was a 5 star. That’s for sure.

Harris played possessed.

Did Edwards-Helaire earn his 3* ranking?

He certainly had a career day imo. But to me, a true 5* player should be good in 80-90% of their games. Harris hasn't shown us that.

I've doubted that he was an elite RB since he's been at Bama but he is quietly having a very good season.

I felt the same.

Five star use to mean they would make a big impact their Freshman year. What year is Harris ?

It was the first game I've seen where Harris looked like a top RB.

No, he earned it 4th quarter of the 2017 Natty.

I've never once understood why anyone was giving him a hard time at any point in his career.

But glad people are seeing the obvious after he gets more touches.

I always thought of him as an elite back.

He constantly has high yards per carry numbers. He just doesn't get a ton of carries for the big yards per game number.

LOL.. ISWYDT. Hope he stays, same with Tua, Juedy, Ruggs, Smith and etc. If Bama doesn't make CFPO maybe they'll decide to come back to finish some business.. I can dream so frick off to any haters.. LOl



Don’t blame you at all and I think at least a couple of that group will return

He is good no doubt, congrats for him coming into his own. They should run him more.

Yep. He is really good. That Touchdown catch was spectacular.
