  • Harris is often praised for his outstanding effort, high football IQ, savvy route running and physicality in the running game. His biggest game of the 2016 season came against the Vikings, where he snagged three receptions including two crucial third down conversions.
  • Playing alongside former first overall pick, Rams QB Jared Goff at Cal in 2015, Harris finished fourth among all 2016 draft eligible wide receivers in passer rating when targeted, at 141.
