Erik Harris was one of the many one-year signings Terry Fontenot and company made this year while trying to shore up a roster in affordable fashion. The former Raider and Saint was expected to at least provide proven depth for Atlanta, but Harris proved to be much more than that for Dean Pees, as he played in and started 12 of the Falcons’ first 13 games.
Unfortunately for Harris, it sounds like his season is going to come to an end there after he exited the Panthers game early with an injury. If the reports are true, then Harris will finish 2021 with 64 tackles, eight pass deflections, a half sack and a small piece of Robby Anderson’s soul in a jar on his desk.
