Denver Broncos cornerback Chris Harris is ranked No. 23 on Pro Football Focus’ list of top 50 players in the NFL. This marks a big jump from Harris’ ranking last year, No. 73.
Here’s part of what PFF had to say about Harris’ ranking:
Asked to play outside cornerback in Denver’s base defense and slot cornerback in nickel and dime packages, Harris is in a league of his own both from a positional versatility and overall production standpoint. The Broncos’ brass was smart to increase Harris’ pay this offseason; his consistent, high-end play is hard to find in the secondary.
Harris, 29, signed a revised contract last month, increasing his 2019 salary from $8.9 million to $12.05 million. In 12 games last season, he totaled 49 tackles, one sack and three interceptions.
PFF is yet to reveal players ranked Nos. 20-1 on their list. Broncos superstar outside linebacker Von Miller will be ranked among those players, marking an improvement from his No. 22 ranking in 2018.
