Christian Harris

Christian Harris (born January 16, 2001) is an American professional football linebacker for the Houston Texans of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Alabama Crimson Tide and was selected by the Texans in the third round of the 2022 NFL draft.

Harris attended Louisiana State University Laboratory School in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He played several positions in high school, including running back, wide receiver, tight end, and cornerback. He converted to linebacker in the 2019 All-American Bowl. A 4-star linebacker recruit, Harris originally committed to play college football at Texas A&M University before flipping his commitment to the University of Alabama.

Harris entered his true freshman year at Alabama in 2019 as a linebacker despite not playing the position in high school. He opened the season as a starter and ended up starting 12 of 13 games, recording 63 tackles and being named freshman All-Southeastern Conference. Harris returned as a starter his sophomore year in 2020. On January 17, 2022, Harris declared his intentions to enter the 2022 NFL draft.

Harris was selected in the third round (75th overall) by the Houston Texans in the 2022 NFL draft. He was placed on injured reserve on September 1, 2022. He was activated on October 22.

On January 13, 2024, in the Wild Card Round against the Cleveland Browns, Harris returned a Joe Flacco interception for a 36-yard touchdown, and he later sacked Flacco on 4th down during the next drive. It was the first time that a player had a sack and a pick-six in a playoff game since fellow Texan J. J. Watt did the same in the 2011 Wild Card Round against Andy Dalton and the Cincinnati Bengals.

On August 27, 2024, Harris was placed on injured reserve. He was activated on December 14.
