There may not be a player on the Detroit Lions roster who has been written off more than safety Will Harris. The 2019 third-round pick has struggled mightily in his two years in the NFL, but he’d be the first to admit it.
“I’ve got to trust myself more, and I just got to play more freely,” Harris said after his rookie season.
But under head coach Matt Patricia, there is rarely the opportunity to truly play freely. You have an assigned role, and if you stray from it, the whole thing falls apart and you get an earful from coach.
