As a two-time all-conference defensive back for the Cardinals, Harris left a lasting impression.

In two seasons, Harris and the Cardinals went 20-1-2, claiming a pair of conference championships and bowl wins. Also on his resume was the program’s first-ever 12-0 season and NJCAA championship as a sophomore in 1994.

Taking the Cardinals to the top of the NJCAA football world was just the beginning for Harris. He went on to play two years at Texas A&M-Kingsville, where he was an All-Lone Star Conference selection in 1996.

Still, there was more football to come.

Harris was drafted in the sixth round of the NFL draft by Tampa Bay. Over the next 14 seasons, he would play there, as well as for Philadelphia, Green Bay, Miami and St. Louis.

The bulk of his career was in Green Bay (2003-10). He was twice selected for the Pro Bowl and was once named All-Pro for the Packers.

For his career, he had 470 tackles and 21 interceptions, also scoring three touchdowns.

In 2021, he was inducted into the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame.

Since 2012, starting at Miami, he has been coaching in the NFL. He has also coached at Kansas City and Dallas and is currently the defensive backs coach and defensive pass game coordinator at Chicago.

He was recruited out of Blanche Ely High School in Pompano Beach, Fla., by Cardinal Hall of Fame coach Randy Pippin.
