Overview

Harris is a true gamer that is at his best when the lights are on and he has the tools to become a starting cornerback at the next level. He excels in man coverage, as he is explosive with an elite closing burst and he has very fluid hips to maintain speed in transition. He also shows very good instincts when lined up one-on-one, but he seems confused at times in zone coverage and can get caught out of position. His press skills are still raw, but he is a strong kid with a tireless work ethic and he should be a mid-to-late first round pick.

Strengths

Harris is tall enough with good bulk. Quick-footed athlete that transitions smoothly to mirror in man coverage. Possesses excellent closing speed when the ball is in the air. Shows great timing on jump balls and has reliable hands. Takes proper angles in run support and does not shy away from contact. Fierce competitor and hard worker.

Weaknesses

Lacks the instincts in zone coverage to jump routes and can be caught out of position at times. Struggles to consistently reroute bigger receivers in press coverage. Will not always break down the ball carrier in the open field and tends to launch himself when tackling.

Thanks to all the CSC members who participated in this years community mock draft. Without your help, none of this would be possible.

Can’t blame the guy….we all agreed to do something and a lot of people apparently didn’t follow through. Though in fairness to those people…r/t complications obviously do happen on occasion.

I don't either. And complications happen to me, but I still fufill my promises to people.

If I can’t, I let them know ahead of time.

Surprised by the hatred of the pick. Woodson can’t play forever and despite the appearance of Tramon Williams last year, the Pack does need to improve its secondary. Harris has the ability to plug and play at both corner and safety and being exceptional at both.
