Najee Harris was one of the featured players on “Monday Night Football” and the ESPN broadcast crew of Steve Levy, Louis Riddick and Brian Griese discussed his difficult childhood of living in homeless shelters.
“Even when he got to Alabama on a full ride, got fancy dorm room, he spent the first few months in Alabama sleeping on the floor,” Levy said, “Said he was just more comfortable, more used to that.”
But Harris on social media disputed that characterization, and said, “Bra I ain’t sleep on no dam floor in college. I slept on my bed.”
Bra I ain’t sleep on no dam floor in college. I slept on my bed

Riddick then mentioned that Harris for a long time didn’t want anybody to know about his childhood, but then sharing that story and helping other kids became his testimony.
