Teams that utilize a power running game with zone and gap blocking while giving the quarterback play-action opportunities would best fit Harris's skill set.
Harris projects as a Year 1 contributor in a committee, with the ceiling of a lead back in a run-heavy system.
The value of a bruiser like Harris diminishes in a pass-happy, spread offense that prioritizes speed and receiving skills.
A powerful, downhill runner, Harris excels in short-yardage and goal-line situations, consistently falling forward for extra yardage.
Selected #87 overall in Round 3 of the 2019 NFL Draft by New England Patriots out of Alabama.
