-

Basics: From Gadsden, Ala. Played extensivel­y in 49 games over four seasons. Highest rushing output was 942 in 2013; lowest was 700 in ’11. Finished with 704 carries for 3,330 (4.7) and 44 TDS and 29 receptions for 234 and one TD. Had about five offers, ultimately choosing Green Bay over Dallas. Signing bonus of $3,500.

Harris: “I’m more the type of guy that gets a lot of yards after contact. I can hit a home run if necessary. We had a zone scheme. I was probably 60-40 inside zone. I’d say I’m a guy that doesn’t go down easy. . . . Go in with a mind-set really to learn. Confident, but not cocky. I feel like fear will get me nowhere. It’s what I’ve been waiting on for years. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunit­y. God has blessed me to come this far. If I do what I’ve got to do as far as practicing and being on time, taking care of my body, keep my head and my nose in the playbook, then I should be fine.”

NFC scout: “Big downhill back. Doesn’t have great top-end speed. Got a little inside run ability. Worry about him getting to the edge. ”

NFC scout: “Big, strong runner with average speed. He had a disappoint­ing senior season compared to early in his career. Underachie­ver.”
