Chris Harris Jr. Quotes

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.

To be able to run routes, that's like the greatest thing to me. It's kind of like an art to me. It's like a painter drawing or something like that. That's how I feel every time I run a route.

I really try to pride myself on route running, catching and being able to be a mismatch anywhere on the field.

When the ball is up in the air for a rebound you always have to be on your toes to go up for the ball. It's the same situation in football as a receiver; I'm always trying to get the ball at the highest point like a rebound.

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.

All I really think about is, 'Don't try to kick the ball too hard,' because a lot of times when I missed kicks, it was because I tried to kill it. I just try to think of a smooth swing, being slow and under control, and making the kick.

I've spent years trying to time up my drops with my throws. You learn to listen to your feet and trust your positions.

Sometimes I can see the whole painting from the outset in my mind's eye. But more often than not, that idea doesn't last the duration of the painting. Sometimes it comes out easy, just as I had envisaged. But that is reasonably rare.

I'd take precision any day over power; as far as being tactical you know you have to see what's going on in there and also understand that for every punch that you or your opponent throws there's always a counter shot or two which you have to be ready to fire or defend.

Fighting is dancing. Look at a great boxing match, and it's a dancing.

Everything is about your movements and precision and timing, which is what gymnastics is about.

I have a unique ability to predict the flight of the ball, and my teammates have a unique ability to find me.

The essence of football was blocking, tackling, and execution based on timing, rhythm and deception.

Rather than opera, football is more like ballet or a chess game. You can really see it in a team like Arsenal, especially when Dennis Bergkamp was playing. He seemed to be able to read the game like a chessboard and knew where a player would be several seconds later and put the ball there for him.

Doing the sword fighting is like picking up a dance routine... I think dancing really helps with the picking up of it.

When I played the game, you played with your feet. And the game was about finesse. Movement.

I'm just trying to set my game up to that level of anytime the ball comes my way, I make a play, making people miss and getting the yards after the catch.

No, my dance moves are always working no matter where I am. Whether at the house or if I'm out, at the facility working out, practicing, you gotta get the dance moves right. They help out with your footwork.

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

Jaelen Strong's big. He runs really good routes. He's got great hands.

One of my friends, Bruno Andrade, was so quick, he just used to knock the ball past whoever he was playing against, and I thought, 'Why can't I do that?' Until then, I would try to dribble and maybe try a stepover, but Andre would just knock it then - beep, beep - and he was so fast, he would get there first.

If you play every time, long balls, you lose possession and you lose momentum. I don't want to be like that.

For a gymnast to be successful, she needs to strike a balance of everything within herself. She needs to be graceful, flexible, perform all elements, turns, maintain co-ordination - she has to have all of that. If, for example, she only has co-ordination and nothing else, she will not succeed.

Footwork is the biggest element to any quarterback game because if it's off, it will mess with your mechanics.

I'm not one of those typical receivers who's like a robot in the slot or outside.
