Champ Bailey and many past Denver Broncos corner backs rank as some of the all-time greats. For current defensive back Chris Harris Jr., he is on a path as the greatest. In a short amount of time (five years), Harris Jr. is halfway from breaking Bailey’s passes defended record in a Broncos uniform. Bailey registered 123 passes defended in his stint with the Broncos. Harris sits at 66.
Furthermore, Harris Jr’s path to the NFL is a test of adversity. Not invited to the NFL Combine or a pro day Harris Jr. played with a chip on his shoulder.
