Harris

Harris, a 2018 fifth round draft pick of the Bengals, has bounced around the league, primarily playing as a special teamer. In Chicago, he could see some snaps at cornerback for a Bears secondary graded by PFF as the league’s tenth worst.

A 2018 fifth-round pick for the Bengals, Harris has played for three teams in his first three seasons as a pro. His high-water mark was a 429-snap season with Denver in 2019. The 49ers still have a Richard Sherman-sized hole on their cornerback depth chart, but Harris is more of a potential depth piece who might be able to squeeze his way onto the roster by impressing on special teams.

Harris was released from injured reserve last month. He appeared in four games with the Ravens before that, posting 10 tackles and a forced fumble. Harris provides offseason depth and should compete for a role on special teams.

A special teams mainstay, Harris was thrust into 95 defensive snaps this season and performed poorly. Going on 26, Harris could have a tough time cracking someone’s 53-man roster in 2021.

A fifth round pick, Harris missed the first 10 weeks after going down in the preseason finale. He’ll give a struggling Bengals’ some added depth.

Harris (5’11/205) was a three-year starter for the ISU Redbirds, logging 10 career tackles for loss and four interceptions and earning first-team All-MAC from the conference’s coaches as both a junior and senior. Harris ran fast in Indy (4.43) with a quality three-cone time (6.96) but struggled in the vertical (32 ½") and broad (10’3") jumps. Better in zone than man coverage, Harris could eventually be tried at safety.
