Why Erik Harris is so important to the Oakland Raiders

The Oakland Raiders took a chance on Erik Harris is September of 2017, and since bringing him into the franchise, he has rewarded them big time. A guy who seemingly gets better every single practice, Harris has become a team leader, and will be expected to play a big role in what this franchise does over the next two seasons at least.

Playing his college ball at Division II California University of Pennsylvania, Harris was an all-conference player, but went undrafted in the 2012 NFL Draft. After a stint in the CFL, Harris was added to the New Orleans Saints organization on a reserve/futures contract, but a torn ACL ended his time in the Bayou.
