The Current Top 10 Undrafted NFL Players
By Kyle Davis
#9 Chris Harris Jr. – CB – Denver Broncos
The cornerback from Denver comes in 9th on this list. Chris Harris Jr. is a part of the intimidating defense that won Super Bowl L. After a very successful season at Kansas in 2010; Chris found himself fighting for a roster position after going undrafted.
In his rookie season, he finished with 65 tackles and an interception, playing in all 16 games. He also made the Broncos All-Rookie team, as well as winning the Broncos Breakout Player of the Year award.
Since then, Harris Jr. has been increasingly difficult for opposing offenses to deal with. He has great strength and quick feet, very rarely losing receivers in coverage. The opposing AFC Quarterbacks can attest, they don’t like playing against Chris Harris Jr.
It’s his ability to limit separation that makes him so special. He features a great combination of balance and fluid hips. This allows him to stick close to his target.
Harris Jr. adds extra value because of his versatility. He is someone that the Broncos can play on the outside or move into the slot. Harris also has the rare ability to stick with the quicker targets and also get physical with the bigger wideouts in the league.
