You have to understand, this season was over weeks ago for RS.

you do know we cut him right? Yeah we found him in round 6, but Jerry an company gave up on him and were lucky no one picked him up.

I additon to his obvious receiving and Special Teams contributions, he might be the best run-blocking WR on the team.

You don’t know what you don’t know.

He has a passion for the game. Runs tough and is hard to bring down. He needs more playing time and sit OTree on the bench. Really like his game.

I remember reading an article by his college coach saying how he is a pure football player, and will be a major contributor in the NFL. His small school status hurt his draft round, but I'm glad he's getting a chance.

I love when small school guys get a chance and prove that they can also play the game.

Extend this kid now Jerry.

It's unfortunate that he's been languishing behind other guys on both offense and special teams all this time.

"Small School?"

Not really.
Non BCS conference maybe. But I really don't see East Carolina, a D-1 program with 50,000 per game as a small school. Unless the Boise States, BYUs, Houstons, TCU (until this year) etc of the world are also small school.
Just saying.

No big deal.

Really like what I have seen from Harris, Beasley and Hanna. That's three good, young guys to help Romo now and next year.

I wouldn't say that gave up on him. They immediately signed him to the practice squad a day later after he cleared waivers. Taking a calculated risk would be a more fair assessment. Regardless, I'm glad he still has a star on his helmet and we aren't referring to him as another Amendola that got away.

Harris plays with grit, much like Murray, has the courage, commits to his decisions / moves, and plays through defenders. He has really come along this year.

Harris is tough and clutch. He is just, as they say, "a baller". He shows great football instincts and the game has never appeared to be too big for him. I'm so glad that nobody picked him up last year when we cut him! That did happen right?

"I just always feel that he's going to find a way to win the game…He has evolved into a great, great leader of the team...He is the total package." Roger Staubach about Tony Romo

"They're a talented group with a great quarterback, and they're well on their way." Troy Aikman on the Cowboys and Tony Romo

But what do Roger and Troy know about great quarterbacking, talent, leadership, and winning anyway?

i think he's one of the toughest players on the team. he has some thickness in his lower body (n/h) that allows him bounce off tackles. very physical runner.
