Chris Harris Jr. and Aqib Talib formed one of the NFL's best cornerback tandems last season with the Denver Broncos.

Harris expects the Broncos' defense to be even more reliant on them this season.

"(The defense) is going to rely a lot more on me and Talib to make a lot of plays," Harris said Monday on the first day of voluntary workouts, according to the team website. "We're going to be out there on an island a lot. It's a lot of responsibility on us to be able to shut our guys down."

"Everybody else is going to be a lot more aggressive," he added. "I'm pretty much going to be on an island, I've just got to cover my man a lot in this defense."
