Christian Harris has his rookie contract and is earning praise from his new team.

As an alum of Alabama football, Harris got selected in the third round (No. 75 overall) of the NFL Draft by the Houston Texans.

He impressed the Texans at the NFL Scouting Combine by posting a 4.44 time in the 40-yard dash. Harris would also record 79 tackles, 12.5 tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks, four quarterback hurries, three pass breakups, and two forced fumbles for the Crimson Tide during his junior season. He assisted Alabama to a Southeastern Conference Championship and a Cotton Bowl victory.
