Will Harris will be back for another season in the Detroit Lions secondary. But the fourth-year vet might not be playing where he has for most of his first three seasons in Detroit anymore.
Harris has been a safety for the bulk of his NFL career, for better and for worse. He’s graded out at Pro Football Focus as one of the worst regular safeties in the league each year and Harris is coming off his worst grades in 2021, his first season as a full-time starter.
The 26-year-old did show some spark when pressed into emergency duty at cornerback late in the year. His length, speed and explosiveness worked better in the more defined play role at corner. In fact, it might be Harris’ new home, according to Lions head coach Dan Campbell.
