The Denver Broncos will host the Cleveland Browns in Week 9, and Chris Harris is ready to draw the responsibility of shadowing Odell Beckham Jr. When speaking to the media on Friday, Harris didn't waste any time stating who he was going to cover on Sunday.
“I want Beckham. What do you mean?” Harris said in his press conference when asked who he wanted to face. “He’s the best receiver on their team.”
Of course, Beckham Jr. isn't the only talented receiver on the Browns roster. On the other side, Jarvis Landry can also do some damage on the offensive side of the ball. That may be true, but Harris understands who the Browns want to get the ball to.
“Landry, he has a lot of catches and he’s been great in this league. No disrespect to him. I’ve had great battles with him too, but in their offense [Beckham] is their big-play guy.”
Harris, a nine-year veteran, has seen plenty of receivers over the years. Even at 30-years-old, the veteran cornerback isn't afraid to cover the opposing team's best pass-catcher.
Over the past five years, Harris has been named to the Pro Bowl four times and has been named an All-Pro in 2016. Nevertheless, he will have his hands full with Beckham Jr. in Week 9.
Coming into the game, Beckham Jr. has yet to get acclimated into Cleveland's offense. But at any moment, he can torch a defense once he gets into a rhythm. It will be up to Harris to prevent the talented wideout from doing so.
