Harris’ familiarity with Nagy’s offense certainly helps. While Harris has played both the “U” (move) and “Y” (blocking) tight end in this same system with the Chiefs, he figures to serve primarily as the team’s “Y” tight end.

Adam Shaheen, whose future is uncertain, currently serves as the “Y” tight end, and Harris will be great competition at the position — and will likely oust Shaheen from the starting job.
