Early years[edit]

Professional career[edit]
Pre-draft[edit]

Harris expected a late round draft pick[4] but during the later part of the seventh round of drafting Harris received calls from the Packers, Colts, New York Jets and Bears.

Harris signed with the Green Bay Packers on May 1, 2009.[5] He was waived on August 30.
