The Alabama Crimson Tide were thrilled to get star RB Najee Harris back for his senior season, and he’s getting some preseason Heisman buzz.

But, it’s certainly not a 1-man backfield, as guys like Trey Sanders and Brian Robinson should also get plenty of work this fall.

During a press conference on Monday, Saban praised his running back group, starting with Harris and Robinson (via 247Sports):

“Those two guys have done great. They’ve really worked hard; they’ve had great camps so far. Trey Sanders has done extremely well. The young guys have done really, really well. I see them all contributing and I think those guys can all have a role on our team. That’s an area on our team that I really like the depth. I like the experience we have with two seniors, and then there’s some young guys that have some really, really good ability to contribute. And these guys are all really good special teams players. I think when you have depth at linebacker, running back, tight end, skill positions, wide receiver, DB, that really, really helps you on special teams because those guys take up a lot of roles on special teams, and I think those guys are going to make a real contribution in all those areas as well.”

How much work will Harris get in comparison to the other 2 guys? We’ll see what Alabama’s offense looks like starting on Sept. 26 at Mizzou.
