Scouting Report: Strengths

• Harris tracks the ball well and does a nice job of getting his head around in plenty of time to avoid flags.
• Can get up under a receiver’s chin and has the speed to flip his hips and run downfield. Harris has the quick and surprisingly powerful hands to jostle receivers early. But he’s at his best peeking into the backfield.
• Has more of a slot receiver skill set, but with more and more small, quick receivers emerging as No. 1 threats, is the kind of quick-footed cover man who can counter those kinds of pass catchers.
• Good instincts and anticipation reads and reacts with discipline. Dangerous with the ball in his hands.
• He’s also very good in zone coverage, showing a great understanding of routes and the ability to close quickly.
• He’s a better tackler than his size might suggest.

Scouting Report: Weaknesses

• Like a lot of collegiate corners, Harris has a tendency to get grabby, something that will have to be coached out of him.
• Lacks a physical element to his game, and he doesn’t have a frame that can carry a lot of weight. He’ll get outmuscled at the top of routes by bigger receivers.
• Making the tackle against bigger backs is a potential issue.
