Good read by Dan Pompei on our boy Chris Harris, mostly about coming back from his injury last year:
Harris believes he is a better cornerback because of his knee problems. He thought his knee would benefit if he played at a lighter weight, so he dropped 12 pounds to 188, and it has made a difference.
"I feel faster this year," he said. "I feel more explosive. That is what has elevated my game to another level. I guess it teaches you to run properly. It fixes all the bad mechanics in running and the things you were doing wrong technique-wise."
Bailey told Legwold he believes Harris is playing better than any corner in the league. He also said Harris reminds him of himself in the way his technique is similar to Bailey's.
Harris does not have Bailey's special physical traits, but he studied Bailey and imitated his approach. And after Bailey left Denver in the offseason, Bailey's locker was given to Harris. It was a symbolic gesture, but also a practical one, as now Harris is in the center of the room where he can be seen and heard by all.
