02Scheme fit
Ideal system

3-4 two-gap defense focused on controlling the line of scrimmage, with defensive linemen responsible for occupying blockers and creating opportunities for linebackers.

3-4 DE5-TechRun stopper
Best role

Year 1 rotational 3-4 DE, with a ceiling as a reliable starter due to his anchor and run-stuffing ability.

Wrong fit

Wide-9 attacking front that prioritizes pure pass rush and athleticism over power at the point of attack.

Harris's ability to anchor and shed blocks makes him a valuable asset in a run-heavy defensive scheme, but his limited pass-rush repertoire might hinder him in pass-first systems.
