Charles Harris might have already made it to the NFL, but that doesn’t mean he’s forgotten his roots.
Harris, the Miami Dolphins’ first-round pick from the 2017 NFL Draft, has spent his offseason in his hometown Kansas City, Missouri, working with high school football players hoping to take their craft to the next level.
“The workouts have been good, but the workouts will kill you,” Giovanni Franklin, a senior linebacker at Liberty High in suburban Kansas City, told the Missouri-based Courier-Tribune. “I can tell you that much.”
That’s exactly how Harris planned it. He wants to test the younger players as much as possible as early as possible to see if they’re willing to put in the necessary effort.
