Chris Harris Jr. Quotes

Defensive backs are the best players on the field. But when you get an exceptional player like a Deion Sanders or a Darrell Green - these guys are fast and they have very good technique. You have to work a little harder.

A lot of people think a running back is just a guy who lowers his shoulder and runs people over, and that's not my game.

Being a tight end, you have to be able to do everything. You have to be able to run routes; you have to be able to block, pass-protect, and run with the ball after a catch. So, that's how I attack my workouts - focusing on doing everything.

A lot of wide receivers, they always run their routes at 100% speed. As a DB, that allows you to get a feel for how you need to play them.

I want to play defense. I want to get sacks.

I like throwing touchdowns instead of running them.

Some people try to find things in this game that don't exist but football is only two things - blocking and tackling.

I love getting after that quarterback! That's my deal: sacking the quarterback.

Let me explain my job very simply: My job is to line up five, seven, 10 yards in front of a man and run into him at full speed.

The tag that I was too small and too slow just made me work that much harder. Besides, quickness is more important than flat-out speed. How often does a receiver run 40 yards straight down the field? Not very often. Lateral speed is what counts. How quickly can you get in and out of a cut? I can do that as well as anyone.

There's always areas of the game you want to improve. For me, specifically, yards after the catch, making those tough, contested catches.

I do like to play and pass the ball. But first and foremost I see myself as a defender: blocking, tackling, heading.

I'm an attacking full-back.

My position in football was cornerback, and what your job is as a cornerback is to read the person that's in front of you - read their body language and anticipate what's going to happen next.

I think when you're running through a hole and you're hit in certain, different ways, you have to be able to move and change and make people miss.

Your job as a receiver is to get open and catch the ball and block in the run game.

I think I proved that I was a polished receiver.

My position is a running back. So, the first part of my position is running. That means I need to run and be fast.

You have different schemes for different teams. Some teams blitz a lot, and some teams drop eight in coverage.

Obviously, teams are passing a lot more, and there are rules that... allow the offense to be more explosive, so you want to have as many defensive players and defensive playmakers and defensive backs that you can.

Every running back has their own strengths and weaknesses. There are some that are better as pass receivers. There are some that are better inside, tight zones and mid zones and outside zones.

I can definitely box on the front foot as well as the back foot. I don't think that's really an issue.

I love to hit my little five- to 10-yard cut, and that's what I try to do. And I think that's kind of been my game.

I'm a guy who can play all three downs, and I excel in all areas of the game.

I think I just need more time to refine my skills, and I can be a dominant pass rusher.
