The Chargers drafted Malik Nabers’ high-school quarterback. But he’s not a quarterback, at least not anymore.
And because he’s tall and speedy, Tre Harris will hopefully do a little bit for the Chargers quarterback what Nabers did for the Giants’ quarterbacks a year ago. He should get a good shot at it.
Harris, the wideout from LSU, was the Chargers’ second-round pick. At 6-foot-2 and 205 pounds, Harris used his size and length along with good quickness and speed to win along the perimeter in Ole Miss’ spread offense. His ability to cut on a dime, especially when turning back to the quarterback, was a key trait for him to win on, especially since he mastered pretty much two routes for the Rebels. That’s one of several things Harris must improve on to be a winner in the NFL; his contested-catch skills are another and his jukes are a third. A noticeable track record of injuries including a groin issue suffered in October is also a minor red flag.
However, Harris was good enough to record three straight seasons of at least 54 catches, 930 yards, and seven scores, so his receiving efficiency cannot be questioned even if some of the deeper details in his game can be. The point is, he’s got work to do to improve his skill set, but he brings enough now to be helpful.
And the Chargers sorely need help along the outside at receiver — Quentin Johnston has been up and down and Mike Williams is older and slower. Harris, who compares physically to Johnston, could quickly find a path to being second on the Bolts in targets behind second-year stud Ladd McConkey. That’s going to appeal to Fantasy managers who are looking for value in the later rounds in redraft leagues.
Looking long-term, Harris’ upside could keep him primed as a key part of the Chargers offense for a while. He’ll be a popular mid- to late-rounder in keeper leagues and a back-half-of-Round 1 selection in rookie-only drafts.

LIV Golf Mexico City: Ripper GC pulls ahead of Crushers GC after Round 2
<!--> MEXICO CITY – Crushers GC Captain Bryson DeChambeau is arguably golf's biggest hitter. Ripper GC Captain Cameron Smith is arguably the sport's best putter. On Sunday at LIV Golf Mexico City, they'll face off for the first time in the final group of a LIV Golf final round.DeChambeau, thanks to a birdie at the par-3 18th Saturday, grabbed a one-shot lead over Smith. Both shot matching 5-under 66s while playing together during Saturday's second round, a precursor to what promises to be a dramatic and entertaining finish at Club de Golf Chapultepec.And if that wasn't enough, the third member of the final threesome is Torque GC Captain Joaquin Niemann, the current season-long points leader. Niemann is three shots off the lead and tied for the low round of the day Saturday with a 7-under 64.ADVERTISEMENT -->"Hopefully Bryson and I […]
Arkansas NIL collective calls on prominent lawyer to enforce Madden Iamaleava buyout clause amid transfer
247Sports FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas' name, image and likeness collective has hired an attorney to pursue and enforce a buyout clause in former quarterback Madden Iamaleava's agreement, CBS Sports has learned.In an unprecedented move in the NIL era of college sports, the parent company overseeing the Arkansas Edge collective has hired noted sports attorney Tom Mars to enforce buyout provisions in NIL contracts at Arkansas, Blueprint Sports CEO Rob Sine confirmed Saturday to CBS Sports. The collective is following the orders of Arkansas athletics director Hunter Yurachek, who directed the collective to pursue buyout money in contracts broken by players in an insistent statement released Tuesday, just two hours after Iamaleava entered the transfer portal.The two former Arkansas players targeted in the initial legal efforts are Iamaleava and former receiver Dazmin James, sources told CBS Sports.

Grading the Broncos’ draft
Feb 27, 2025; Indianapolis, IN, USA; Texas defensive back Jahdae Barron (DB04) during the 2025 NFL Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Tanner Pearson-Imagn Images Grade: C Best Pick: CB Jahdae Barron, No. 20 Overall What We Liked: Barron is a stud. His extreme versatility along with high-end tackling skills and coverage ability should make him a cornerstone of that defense for a while. In an era that's shifting more toward the idea of "positionless football," the Broncos are charging forward into the future with a defensive back that is the shining example of that philosophy. I also think Sai'vion Jones could work in quickly as a third pass rusher. Not Sure About: In theory, adding a couple skill players for Bo Nix should work for Denver, but these guys don't have the juice. RJ Harvey does not have […]
Nashville sets franchise mark in 7-2 win over Chicago
Apr 26, 2025; Nashville, Tennessee, USA; Nashville SC forward Sam Surridge (9) and midfielder Edvard Tagseth (20) celebrate a goal from a penalty kick in the first half against Chicago Fire at Geodis Park. Mandatory Credit: Casey Gower-Imagn Images Sam Surridge scored four goals and Nashville set the franchise mark for largest margin of victory Saturday, beating the visiting Chicago Fire 7-2 Hany Mukhtar added two goals and one assist for Nashville, while Jeisson Palacios scored, as well. Nashville (5-4-1, 16 points) opened the scoring in the 14th minute after Chicago defender Jack Elliott was called for a foul on Jacob Shaffelburg, resulting in a penalty kick. Surridge powered the ball down the middle of the goal to give Nashville an early 1-0 lead. Nashville doubled its lead in the 22nd minute when defender Palacios got on the right end […]
Grading the Patriots’ Draft
Mar 1, 2025; Indianapolis, IN, USA; University of Georgia offensive lineman Jared Wilson (OL49) answers questions at a press conference during the 2025 NFL Combine at Indiana Convention Center. Mandatory Credit: Jacob Musselman-Imagn Images Grade: A+ Best Pick: C Jared Wilson, No. 95 Overall What We Liked: Lots of rock-solid picks building in Mike Vrabel's first year as the head coach. The offensive line is molding into more of a unit than a series of disparate parts, the Patriots have a new running back in TreVeyon Henderson who can hopefully carry the workload. Kyle Williams gives QB Drake Maye one more weapon. This feels like a draft driven by logic and smart team-building. Not Sure About: It was a little early for Craig Woodson for my liking. Woodson has trouble run-stopping and struck me as more of a developmental player […]
Grading the Buccaneers’ draft
Dec 28, 2023; Orlando, FL, USA; Kansas State cornerback Jacob Parrish (10) celebrates an interception against NC State in the fourth quarter at Camping World Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Jeremy Reper-Imagn Images Tampa Bay Buccaneers Grade: A- Best Pick: CB Jacob Parrish, No. 84 Overall What We Liked: The Buccaneers are really ready to fix what didn't work for them last year, investing heavily in a barren cornerback room and new edge rotational players. Cornerback Benjamin Morrison (No. 53) and Parrish could be a scary duo on the outside and slot, respectively. Emeka Egbuka (No. 19) brings a young face to an aging wide receiver room and could easily become the next Chris Godwin. Not Sure About: Edge David Walker (No. 121) does not have extensive FBS experience and did not shine at the all-star games, so it feels like a […]
