Wow! I did not expect that from reading the "he's slow and a grinder" reviews
 
Harris graded out at 7.94. Just below the 2nd. Big time PTP. Mommas boy.

Great vision. Eyes are always up & looking but he isnt looking to bounce it 100 different ways. He's following protocol, looking for quickest hole & taking off. Love his vision. Easily one of the best in the class imo when it comes to that. Just a great feel for where he is, where he wants to go/be.
Knows the OL calls as well as the line. Very involved player.
Tough person, tough player.
Played ST, RB, WR in hs. Soft hands you can check down to no problem.
Very aware, patient & smart in pass pro. Isnt afraid & brings the fight to the rush. Always looking to help out, chip.
Good acceleration, not great. Isnt going to run away from DB's but who cares. If hes ripping off + runs, protecting Brady & reliable in the rec game/in general we have a very capable, ready RB to step in anytime. Not much miles bc of the Bama backfield.

Our RB Corp is seriously good if healthy. Sony, White, Rex & Harris are all somewhat interchangeable 3 down backs for us.
 
To me, it seems obvious what the general trend/ plan is:run the sh## out of the ball and then have TB scorch the defense when they're all loaded up in the box. I love it.
 
The Burkmeister is fragile Brittle Burk.
 
I love this pick. Yeah, I'm an Alabama Homer, but you only needed to watch a handful of games to see Harris as a big-time contributor. He is a powerful runner, and rarely lost yardage. Wicked hard to tackle, usually taking 2-3 defenders to bring him down.

He should be able to fit in pretty quickly,as Alabama uses a system very similar to the Patriots, including terminology and concepts.
 
FWIW, my perception is that the Pats were fairly terrible in short yardage situations running the ball last year.

Hopefully, Harris is a big part of solving that issue.
 
It was pointed out on Twitter that we had Cordarelle Patterson play a game at RB last year. I’m fine with adding depth.

Great balance.
 
Great balance.
Agreed, he's a very solid player all around.

Tough. Doesn't dance around. Again I love his vision. Its a Big + for me. Dont care about his speed or lack thereof. He has enough juice, acceleration to rip of 20-40 chunks which is fine by me. Very good in pass pro. Another big +. Doesn't fumble. Not the upside Sony has in the rec game but he can catch.

When you look at White, Sony & Harris even excluding Rec. Thats a really good group imo. They stay healthy its a top 10 group.
