Five Miami Dolphins players set to breakout in 2018
Harris had an up and down rookie year where he was mostly buried in the depth chart behind Cam Wake, Andre Branch, and William Hayes, but was given an opportunity to play a lot later in the year, and took full advantage. At times Harris looked lost. But he showed flashes of sheer pass-rushing brilliance.
Despite totaling just 2 sacks in year one, he often displayed speed along the edge that disrupted the play in the backfield, something that doesn’t show up in the stat sheet. He struggles against the run, but if put on the field on passing downs, he can be a sack machine.
Cam Wake called Harris the most improved player from this year to last, and that’s high praise from one of the best pass rushers in franchise history. Cam Wake isn’t getting any younger, and at 36 years old, he could see his snap count reduced in favor of the younger faster edge rusher in Harris.
With Robert Quinn lined up on the opposite side, he and Harris could form quite the tandem that haunts Quarterbacks for years to come.
