"I'd be lying if I said I didn't," Harris last week, per the . "That's just being honest. I'm a productive man. I want sacks. I want TFLs (tackles for lo s). I want things like that. But in terms of my ability, there's no lack of confidence." Harris recorded an SEC-high 18.5 tackles for lo s (including seven sacks) as a sophomore in 2015, and entering this year, a panel of College Football 24/7 analysts voted him the . Expectations for 2016 were naturally high, including Harris' own. A couple of weeks ago, Harris had just 3.5 sacks this season.

"Go back and look at Clowney the year before, Bosa the year before, and they had huge production," Zierlein said. "And those were freakish athletes coming out of college with all the traits. Harris has had seven sacks last year. I like him quite a bit as a player, but I wouldn't put him in the same group with those guys."
