The New York Jets made a smart move when they drafted linebacker David Harris in the second round of the 2007 NFL Draft. He’s been one of the most consistent players for the team.
However, Harris is 33 years old, and he is entering his 10th year in the NFL. Some people wonder if Harris can perform at the same level in 2017. Well, the answer is probably not. Harris broke the consistency last season, as he only had 67 tackles and half a sack. His age definitely showed in his speed, footwork, and pursuit.
New York has added a lot of depth to the linebacker position and it’s probably because they know that Harris is getting old.
