Demetrius Harris faces more competition at backup tight end

The Kansas City Chiefs once again have plenty of competition for the tight end slots behind starter Travis Kelce. Demetrius Harris has held the TE2 spot for the better part of three seasons. However, Harris has had serious issues with drops, as well as off-the-field issues that are seldom talked about.

This offseason, Harris served jail time after reaching a plea deal when charged with one count of marijuana possession and one count of unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia. Whoops. Mistakes like that will end up leading to your release from a team. Given the problems with drops, I’m sure Brett Veach would have no problem releasing the young tight end if the Chiefs have good options to turn to instead.
