Najee Richardson’s sophomore season of American Ninja Warrior was a high-flying success

In his rookie year of American Ninja Warrior, Najee was bitten by Snake Crossing which took out a ton of top ninjas in the Pittsburgh City Qualifier. In season eight, the Phoenix rose and dominated nearly every challenge that was put before him.

In the All-Stars Special, Najee stood out in the Super Sonic Shelf Grab. Only he and Drew Drechsel were left facing a 15 foot lache. Najee didn’t grab the title, but he managed to out-leap almost all the other ninjas in the competition.

With such a strong showing in the regular season and in all the skills challenges he competed in, Najee has made himself one of the favorites going into season nine.
