The Los Angeles Rams basically just took a shot in the dark on an outstanding athletic freak when they selected Jacob Harris in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He had only been playing football for a few years and the former soccer player needed a lot of refinement as a tight end, a position that he had never played before getting drafted with the Rams.
Unsurprisingly, Harris was released by the Rams less than two years into his career. Surprisingly, he’s getting some compliments from his new head coach, Doug Pederson of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
