Maurice Harris - WR - Redskins

CSN Mid-Atlantic's Rich Tandler reports the Redskins coaches are "very, very high" on second-year WR Maurice Harris.

A second-year UDFA out of Cal, Harris stands 6'3/200 and spent the first six weeks of last season on the practice squad before earning a promotion to the 53-man roster. He played 129 offensive snaps, catching 8-of-11 targets for 66 yards. Harris will likely compete with Brian Quick, Ryan Grant, and sixth-round rookie Robert Davis for the final 2-3 roster spots among receivers.

They seem to be placing a premium on size. I'd think Harris has a good chance of being a top four receiver this season.

Especially if he can catch a corner fade.

That comes as no surprise.
