Watch highlights of Jacob Harris, the Rams’ dynamic new tight end

Jacob Harris only had two years of college production, but he made some great catches at UCF.

It’s rare to find a player who’s 6-foot-5 and runs a 4.39 in the 40-yard dash, but the Los Angeles Rams uncovered one in the fourth round of the draft on Saturday. They selected Jacob Harris, who was a wide receiver at UCF but is likely to play tight end with the Rams.

He’s an athletic freak with a high ceiling, though he needs a lot of work as a blocker and his hands must improve. But looking at his highlights with the Knights, he pulled in some impressive catches, including a few where he high-pointed the ball and came down with the reception.

Check out these plays from Harris’ college career, which the Rams shared on Twitter.

For a more extensive look at Harris’ game, there’s a longer highlight package below. You’ll notice how many downfield passes he caught, with his quarterback targeting him down the seam often.

If Harris can become more reliable as a receiver and improve his jump-ball skills, he can become a weapon on offense for the Rams and not just a special teams contributor.
