|BlackJesus| Posted April 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 During a football game in his senior year of high school at Wichita South, Harris suffered torn small and large intestines after taking a cleat to his stomach on a tackle. He survived that injury, while also moving in with his cousins to have a better life than what was available to him at home. He excelled at track, as well as football in high school, but teams backed away after his serious injury. Illinois State stayed with him, though, and after a redshirt season, he's played well. In 2014, he played in 14 games as a reserve (14 tackles). Then the starter's job came in his sophomore season, lining up for all 13 games while being credited with 78 tackles, and a team-leading 10 pass breakups. Harris, an aware corner effective in press and with good ball skills, was a first-team All-Missouri Valley Football Conference selection in 2016. He started 11 of 12 games and leading the conference with 15 passes defended (two interceptions, 13 breakups) to go along with 55 tackles, 5.5 for loss. Harris' stats weren't as impressive in 2017, but he still was named a second-team FCS All-American by the Associated Press and a first-team all-conference pick (57 tackles, 4.5 for loss, two interceptions, 12 pass breakups). Draft Projection Rounds 4-5 Overview Harris struggles to squeeze routes in man coverage and can be beaten down the field, but he has good size and toughness and may offer a team the versatility of playing outside cornerback or safety. Harris needs to play with better anticipation to give him a head start on his transitions out of breaks, but he has a chance to be a decent backup at either cornerback or safety. Strengths Compact build with good thickness Rugged against the run Attacks run support duties with desired effort and energy Runs through targets with good force as downhill tackler and when striking on an angle in open field Good combination of size and long speed Three year starter with good ball production totals Shows ability to accelerate quickly after changing direction Strikes pass catcher in attempt to dislodge catch Has size and toughness to transition to safety Weaknesses Hips are tight and his play is more linear than fluid in space Labors to flip hips and sprint from squared position Allows too much vertical separation over the top Shows some panic down the field and will default to grabbing and mauling Needs to do better job of reading quarterback and anticipating throws Has opportunities to squeeze routes but doesn't see them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRAPradio Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 Sounds like we should/could move him to safety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|BlackJesus| Posted April 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 22 reps is very good for being 205 lbs and he looks like he's built solid. So could be good on ST and in nickle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschooler Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 The Bengals have selected Illinois State cornerback Davontae Harris. IT seemed likely they would add another cornerback to the room with the departure of Adam Jones, and they had liked Wisconsin cornerback Nick Nelson, but he went off the board early on Day 3. http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-40020435-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
