The clock seems to be ticking for Harris in Detroit. The 2019 third-round pick was supposed to shore up the safety spot next to Tracy Walker the past few seasons, but that never came to fruition. The candidates for that spot going forward seem to be DeShon Elliott and second-round rookie Kerby Joseph, though Harris could possibly earn a spot at nickelback after showing well there late last season.
Finishing with just eight less tackles (35) than his rookie season despite seeing less than twice as few snaps, Harris could be a surprise IDP factor if he can earn a starting spot with Detroit's new coaching staff.
Harris showed well for a third-round pick in 2019, benefitting from the Lions' frequent usage of three-safety looks and ultimately logging 675 defensive snaps as a rookie. With Duron Harmon replacing the departed Tavon Wilson this offseason but the only significant other addition to the safety room, Jayron Kearse, suspended for the first three games of the season, there again should be plenty of snaps for Harris to improve upon his inaugural stat line of 43 tackles and three pass breakups.
