As a result, he was selected to the FCS All-American as well as the All-Big Sky first team by the AFCA and AP.[5][6] In July 2017, Harris tore his left Achilles tendon during a workout, causing him to sit out a year as a [medical redshirt](/source/Medical_redshirt) and play his final year of college in 2018.[4][7] In the process, he recorded 24 tackles and seven pass break-ups. ## Professional career After being projected as a draft pick prior to his injury, he went undrafted in the [2019 NFL draft](/source/2019_NFL_draft).[4][8] He participated in a minicamp with the [Green Bay Packers](/source/Green_Bay_Packers) in the spring before being signed by the Washington Redskins (now [Washington Commanders](/source/Washington_Commanders)) in May 2019.[9] He appeared in four games during the preseason, recording eight tackles and four pass break-ups. On August 30, Harris was released by the Redskins as part of the final roster shuffle.[10] He was then placed on the practice squad, from which he was released on October 8.[11] In the [2020 XFL season](/source/2020_XFL_season), Harris signed with the [DC Defenders](/source/DC_Defenders).[12] He made his XFL debut in the fourth week of play, which suspended play a week and a half later due to the [COVID-19 pandemic](/source/COVID-19_pandemic). In two games, Harris had five tackles. In April 2022, he was signed by the [Toronto Argonauts](/source/Toronto_Argonauts) of the [Canadian Football League](/source/Canadian_Football_League) (CFL).[12][13] Harris appeared for the team in the preseason, recording one interception. He was released before the start of the season.[14] Harris signed with the Hamburg Sea Devils of the [European League of Football](/source/European_League_of_Football) (ELF) ahead of the 2023 ELF season.[8][15] ### Professional statistics Year Team GP Tackles Interceptions Cmb Solo Ast TFL Yds Sck FF PD Int Yds TD European League of Football 2023 Hamburg Sea Devils 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ELF total 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Source: europeanleague.football ## Personal life Harris is the son of former NFL player [Johnnie Harris](/source/Johnnie_Harris_(American_football)).[15] ## References 1.
