Pre-draft

Other interests from the Indianapolis Colts and Carolina Panthers had Harris flying out to attend some private work outs, where Harris ran a faster time. Harris expected a late round draft pick[4] but during the later part of the seventh round of drafting Harris received calls from the Packers, Colts, New York Jets and Bears.
