Chris Harris Jr, Cornerback

The Denver Broncos found a sense of security with the consistent level of play that Chris Harris Jr. possessed in 2017.

One word described how Harris Jr. felt this season: “frustrating”.

Harris Jr’s frustration came from a lack of targets from opposing QB’s. Combine that with the Broncos defense being put into compromising field positions, his frustration is shared.

His production never decreased despite him being targeted 29 less times this season.

CHJR didn’t miss a step this season. His performance was key in the Broncos versatility covering quick slot receivers across the field.

Below is an example of his phenomenal fundamentals and technique off the ball in coverage against Jarvis Landry.

Harris Jr tallied 40 tackles, 7 passes defended, and 2 interceptions in 2017.

Grade: A
