The Texans primarily run a 4-2-5 Cover-3 match scheme, focusing on gap integrity and zone principles.
Harris projects as a starting WILL linebacker who will run and hit, with the ceiling to develop into a three-down playmaker capable of covering tight ends and running backs.
He would be a poor fit in a classic 3-4 two-gap system where he'd be asked to consistently shed blocks rather than use his speed to flow to the ball.
Harris's speed and athleticism are critical to his success in fitting the Texans' defensive scheme, allowing him to be a dynamic force sideline-to-sideline.
Selected #75 overall in Round 3 of the 2022 NFL Draft by Houston Texans out of Alabama.
