INDIANAPOLIS — Chris Harris Jr. nearly did a spit take last week when he caught wind of the latest NFL draft hot take.
Harris, the Broncos’ three-time, all-pro cornerback who was undrafted out of Kansas in 2011, knows as well as any player that the build up to the draft, the fine-tooth comb of an evaluation process that produces more scrutiny each year, creates a wide range of head-scratching opinions. And Harris is also receiver-blanketing proof that those opinions often don’t carry weight.
Still, Harris couldn’t make sense out of Bill Polian, the former Indianapolis Colts general manager who now makes a living as an NFL analyst at ESPN, opining that Lamar Jackson, the former Louisville quarterback and 2016 Heisman Trophy winner, should shift to a different position as he enters the league.
