ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Chris Harris Jr. doesn’t do it for the awards.
On the field, he may hope for Pro Bowl selections and All-Pro nods. But that’s not why he’s so involved in both the Denver metro area and his home state of Oklahoma.
That’s not why he started the Chris Harris Jr. Foundation in 2012; it’s not why he works extensively with the Denver Children’s Home and the Salvation Army; and it’s not why he’s stayed so involved with the Denver Rescue Mission.
No, the Broncos’ 2017 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year nominee didn’t get involved with a variety of community initiatives for the recognition.
