When the Los Angeles Rams took Jacob Harris with the 141st overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft, they took him intending to deploy him as a hybrid tight end/wide receiver. But with Harris entering his sophomore season in the NFL, the Rams are intrigued by the idea of having Harris transition to playing wide receiver full-time.
In a fantastic piece by The Athletic’s Jourdan Rodrigue (check out the full article here), she highlights the process in which Harris discovered he’d be making a move to wide receiver on the depth chart.
“They kept it real,” Harris told The Athletic this week. “I showed up one day and they were like, ‘Hey, we see you more as a receiver right now.’ That doesn’t mean that I can’t go back to tight end, because I do have a unique skill set. But as of right now, I’m a receiver. I’m here to embrace whatever role they throw me in.”
