Dallas Cowboys

[edit]

Harris was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the sixth round with the 176th overall pick in the 2011 NFL draft.[10] In his first career pre-season appearance, he had a great performance against the Denver Broncos, recording five receptions for 127 yards and two touchdowns (including a 76-yard touchdown reception), in just two quarters of work. Unfortunately, his first year was mostly a disappointment, with the Cowboys releasing him on October 18 and signing him to their practice squad. He eventually was signed back to the active roster on December 14. As a rookie, he appeared in just seven games, returning 15 punts for 80 yards.[11]

In 2012, he had his first career punt return for a touchdown during a Week 10 game against the Philadelphia Eagles.[12] His 78-yard return broke a fourth-quarter tie and earned him NFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors.[13] His impact as a returner in special teams convinced the coaching staff to give him more opportunities at wide receiver. Despite being active all season, it was not until week 12 against the Washington Redskins on Thanksgiving that he started to produce as a receiver, catching four passes for 71 yards.[14] He finished second in the NFL in punt return average (16.1 yards).[15][16]

In 2013, Harris started to be used as a gunner on special teams and in the opening game against the New York Giants, his three coverage tackles and his effort in forcing one of the Giants’ six turnovers, earned him NFC Special Teams Player of the Week.[17] He was again named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week, after his Week 6 performance against Washington.[18] He registered 222 total return yards which outgained the Cowboys’ offense by nine yards, including an 88-yard punt return for a touchdown and a 90-yard kickoff return.[19][20] He also became the third player (Chris Boniol and Billy Cundiff were the first) in team history to win the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week two times in a season.[21] Although he was injured in three of the last four games of the season, he tied for second on the team with 12 special teams tackles, finished ranked third in punt return average (12.8) and second in kick return average (30.6) in the NFL. As a wide receiver he had nine receptions for 80 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winner against the Minnesota Vikings.[22][23]

In 2014, he led the team with 18 special teams tackles, but all of his other stats dropped off from the previous year. The team struggled in the return game and he was rarely targeted as the fourth wide receiver.[24]

Harris left as the franchise's all-time leader on kickoff returns with a 26.5-yard career average and a single-season 30.6-yard average in 2013. He finished tied for second with an 11.1-yard career punt return average. He is considered to be one of the best special teams players in Dallas Cowboys history.[25]

New York Giants

[edit]

On March 10, 2015, he signed a five-year, $17 million contract with the New York Giants as an unrestricted free agent. The deal included $7.1 million guaranteed with a $4 million signing bonus.[26][27] Although he was acquired to serve primarily as a return man on special teams, he passed Preston Parker on the depth chart as the slot wide receiver, before injuries to the receivers corp forced him to start six games during the season. Against the Buffalo Bills he recorded five receptions for 51 yards and one touchdown.[28] In the next contest, he had a career-high six receptions for 72 yards in a win over the San Francisco 49ers.[29] On October 25, he returned a fourth quarter kickoff 100 yards (tied a team record) for the deciding touchdown against his former team, as the Giants defeated the Cowboys, 27–20.[30] For his efforts, he was named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week.[31] On December 6, he returned a punt 80 yards for a touchdown in a 23–20 overtime loss to the New York Jets, becoming the first player in franchise history to have a punt return, a kickoff return and a reception go for touchdowns in a single-season.[32][33] He recorded six receptions for 82 yards and one touchdown, in a loss against the New England Patriots.[34] He was declared inactive for the last game with a shoulder injury, finishing with career-highs in receptions (36), receiving yards (396) and receiving touchdowns (four).[35] He finished third in the league with a 28.7-yard kick return average and seventh with a 10.0-yard punt return average.

In 2016, at times he was taken off returns because of struggles with ball security and sometimes questionable decision-making. He still finished fifth in the league in kick return average (24.2 yards) and had a 5.9 yards punt return average. He posted 7 special teams tackles. He had one touchdown in his only reception of the season, that came in a week 12 win against the Cleveland Browns.[36] He was also named to his first Pro Bowl.[37]

On March 21, 2017, he restructured his contract after the Giants signed free agent wide receiver Brandon Marshall.[38] In Week 5 of the 2017 season, Harris suffered a foot fracture which required surgery, and was placed on injured reserve on October 9, 2017.[39] He appeared in five games and had nine kickoff returns for 188 net yards for a 20.88 average and seven punt returns for 48 net yards for a 6.86 average.[40]

On March 22, 2018, Harris was released by the Giants.[41]

Oakland Raiders

[edit]

On April 2, 2018, Harris signed with the Oakland Raiders.[42] He was named the Raiders primary kick and punt returner to start the 2018 season. In Week 4, Harris returned five kicks for an average of 19.5 yards, including a 49-yard punt return in a 45–42 win over the Cleveland Browns, earning him AFC Special Teams Player of the Week.[43] On December 24, in Week 16, he returned a punt 99 yards for a touchdown against the Denver Broncos, earning him another AFC Special Teams Player of the Week.[44] The 99-yard return was the second longest punt return in NFL history.[45] He finished the season with 29 kickoff returns for 663 net yards for a 22.86 average to go along with 20 punt returns for 281 net yards for a 14.05 average.[46]

On March 18, 2019, Harris re-signed with the Raiders.[47] He was placed on injured reserve on November 18, 2019.[48]

After becoming a free agent in March 2020, Harris had a tryout with the Baltimore Ravens on August 18, 2020.[49]

On October 27, 2020, Harris was signed to the Chicago Bears practice squad.[52] He was elevated to the active roster four days later ahead of the Bears' week 8 game against the New Orleans Saints, and reverted to the practice squad after the game.[53] He was then promoted to the active roster on November 7 to take over as the primary return specialist.[54] In the Bears' week 10 home loss to the Minnesota Vikings, Harris tore his triceps after he muffed a punt and attempted to recover it.[55] Harris was placed on injured reserve on November 19.[56]
