Allen Park — Amidst all the talk about the young Detroit Lions’ defense turning the corner, Dan Campbell wants to remind you about someone.

His name is Charles Harris.

"Charles is really the starter right now. ... Let's not forget about Charles," Campbell said.

Lions' Charles Harris goes after the football during drills.

Harris, 28, is entering his third season with the Lions. This time last year, possibilities were endless — the former first-round pick was hoping to continue building off a 2021 season that saw him record a career-high in sacks (7.5), tackles (65), forced fumbles (two), tackles-for-loss (10) and quarterback pressures (52).
