When analyzing the Detroit Lions roster, it may be easy to overlook Charles Harris. Recently, the Lions have added a bunch of new players on defense, including five draft picks picked in the first two rounds over the last three years. Meanwhile, Harris is coming off an injury-shortened season in which he only logged six games, four starts, and 14 tackles.
But all offseason, Harris has been repping as the team’s starting SAM linebacker, a role critical to the defense’s success.
“A healthy Charles Harris is going to make us a much better defense,” outside linebackers coach David Corrao said back in June.
