Allen Park — Last June, newly signed Detroit Lions edge rusher Charles Harris was, technically, an NFL veteran. By no means, however, was he thought to be a team leader.
This June? Harris, a former first-round pick with the Miami Dolphins in 2017, is preparing for his age-27 season after setting career highs in starts (14), sacks (7½), tackles (65) and forced fumbles (two) during his one-year, prove-it deal with the Lions in 2021.
"We were talking about Charles the other day in the team room. What a great story he was," Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Thursday.
