Linebacker coach Jerod Mayo on Najee Harris:
“He’s one of these guys that can really do it all. He has tremendous size and speed and athleticism for a guy that size. Very hard to take down. He can do a bunch of different things. He’s like a Swiss Army knife.
“They’re big upfront as well. They have a big offensive line. Those guys are talented. It’s definitely going to be a challenge. I don’t think one guy can really take him down. It’s going to have to be 11 hats to the football type of game.”
