2020 stats: Harper played in all 11 games last year as the backup to McKinley Williams at DT, recording 14 tackles with 1.5 TFLs.
2021 projections: With Bear back for an additional season, there isn’t much reason to expect Harper to start over him. In the same vein, there isn’t much reason to suspect that any other player on the roster right now has taken over Harper’s position as the backup interior defensive lineman.
