In 2018, the 49ers appeared to have a hidden-gem safety, Marcell Harris, yet his regression last year prompts questions about his future.

Not much went right for the San Francisco 49ers in 2018, although then-rookie defensive back Marcell Harris looked to be yet another one of general manager John Lynch’s late-round NFL Draft finds.

Harris, who was selected in Round 6 of that year’s draft after missing all of 2017 at Florida with an Achilles injury, filled in for the Niners’ starter at strong safety, Jaquiski Tartt, who landed on injured reserve late in Harris’ rookie season.
