Will Harris has a new position.
“He’s a cafety,” Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell joked Thursday. “Yeah, he’s a hybrid. He really is. He’s a jack of all trades.”
Harris played three positions in the Lions’ injury-riddled secondary last fall, starting games at safety, cornerback and slot corner.
He opened the season as a starting safety alongside Tracy Walker, transitioned to slot cornerback after A.J. Parker went on injured reserve in late November, then moved outside when Parker returned and after Jerry Jacobs went down with a torn ACL.
Harris finished last season as the Lions’ No.
