If it was Willie Parker or Duce Staley, I'd avoid both if I could see it coming. This Harris kid looks like a Willie Parker clone, only odds are without as much home-run ability that was Parker's ONLY redeeming quality. Look at his game logs in college. Just like Parker ... season stats look decent because of 2 or 3 big games - then in the other 9 or 10, he S-U-C-K-E-D. Not what I'm looking for in a running back. You can see it now, so why not give the other kid a chance.
