2019 stats: 12 tackles, 1 pass breakup, 1 tackle for loss

It’s just not right to talk about standout players through four games and not talk about Chris Harris Jr.

Aside from the catch he allowed to DJ Chark against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Harris has kept everything thrown his direction either on the ground or has limited the damage, and it feels a lot like business as usual for him.

Teams aren’t throwing the ball on the Broncos as much in general, and they rarely throw at Chris Harris’ side of the field, but when they do, it’s a very risky business.
