Former Alabama Running Back Signing With AFC Rival
Former Alabama running back Damien Harris is leaving the New England Patriots after four seasons in Foxboro. Harris, who was drafted in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Patriots, is opting to sign a one-year contract with the Buffalo Bills.
Harris isn't going far to move to Buffalo, but he is joining a crowded backfield that already has James Cook and Nyheim Hines on the roster.

Harris, in 38 games played for the Patriots, rushed for 2,094 yards and tallied 20 total rushing touchdowns. He's additionally hauled in 40 receptions for 281 yards.
The Kentucky-native spent four seasons at The Capstone and was part of two national championship teams. He rushed for 3,070 yards and 23 touchdowns and was named Second Team All-SEC in 2018.
The Buffalo Bills were 13-3 and won the AFC East, but lost in the AFC Divisional round of the playoffs to the Cincinnati Bengals in 2022.
