Football:
This is an interesting move, starting a guy that hasn’t played too many snaps over a few more experienced guys. But Harris seems more than ready.
Patterson said Harris will start at SAM (strong-side linebacker) against the Wildcats. Harris has been working with the first-team defense since the bye week. Wallow will remain as the middle linebacker.
“Really it’s gone very well,” Patterson said of Harris. “He’s a very knowledgeable guy. Processes fast. Good tackler.”
Harris has played in three games so far, mostly on special teams. He’s yet to record a stat.
