The unlikely rise of Raiders safety Erik Harris

Erik Harris watched as paramedics loaded his then-girlfriend and current wife into the back of an ambulance.

She was a senior in high school and he was a year older, the two in their first year dating a decade ago. The car in which they were passengers had just crashed with an oncoming vehicle on a back road near Uniontown, Penn.

“The driver of our car lost control of the car,” Theresa Harris said. “We were very fortunate that everyone was OK. There were five of us.”

Erik sustained whiplash and didn’t even get checked out.
