Demetrius Harris Trading Basketball For NFL Draft

Dec 11, 2014 6:26 AM

University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's Demetrius Harris, having seen his basketball career end roughly a month ago, has decided to enter the NFL Draft.

He is projected as a tight end and teams are scrambling to evaluate him as the draft approaches.

"Things are happening very quickly for Demetrius," UW-Milwaukee coach Rob Jeter said. "Like I told all the (NFL) coaches, if you want him to shoot free throws, that's not your man. But if you want him to catch a football, he can do that."

Harris, 6 feet 5½ inches and 237 pounds, played two seasons under Jeter as a post player.

According to the Kansas City Chiefs, Harris ran 40 yards in 4.52 seconds to go with a vertical jump of 36½ inches and a broad jump of 10-2.

Aug 9, 2014 4:02 PM

The Kansas City Chiefs disappointed last season, but with a new regime and quarterback in Alex Smith they are hoping to reverse their fortunes.

"I think that's the case for every NFL team, and if it's not the case, it's a problem. We're trying to win right now. I think that's the great thing about the NFL," Smith said.

"You're out there and there are very few perennials. It's a battle every single year. You can go first to worst, worst to first. There is so much parity across the league. That's the mindset here, that's for sure. If it's not win now, then that's a problem."
