Chris Harris Jr. was one of the most consistent and respected cornerbacks of his era, spending all 10 seasons of his career with the Denver Horns and building a reputation as the backbone of their secondary. Drafted in the 2nd round (62nd overall) of the Season 1 Inaugural Draft, Harris wasted no time making his mark, immediately locking down opposing receivers and becoming a leader on defense. His presence was instrumental in guiding Denver to two NFC Championships and a victory in Super Bowl VI.

Renowned for his sticky coverage, football IQ, and ability to step up in the biggest moments, Harris earned six consecutive Pro Bowl selections — all in his first six seasons — along with two All-Pro honors. He returned three interceptions for touchdowns and totaled three career scores, many of them coming in momentum-shifting situations. His versatility and competitive drive made him a nightmare matchup for any offense.

Harris’s ten-season-long tenure saw remarkable team success: 10 winning seasons, 8 playoff appearances, 4 division titles, and a 1-1 record in the Super Bowl. His leadership extended beyond the stat sheet, as he served as a steady, reliable force for the Horns throughout his career. A one-time Denver Horns Player of the Year, Harris re-signed with the team in Season 9 to finish what he started, retiring as one of the most accomplished and loyal players in franchise history.
