The first two months of 2017 were a whirlwind for Connor Harris. In mid-January, he received the Cliff Harris Award as the nation’s top small-college defender at a banquet in Little Rock, Ark.
In late January, he was off to Mobile, Ala., for the Senior Bowl. At the beginning of March there was the massive gridiron job fair known as the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.
In between, he trained at the St. Vincent Sport Performance facility in Indianapolis for weeks and weeks with a nutrition team, physical therapists, a strength staff, and personal trainers. During that time, he and his wife, Marissa, lived in a hotel.
