Knijeah Harris

Dean Kindig

Played all of the 52 snaps on offense while logging a 64.5 PFF grade, the highest of all FL linemen, excels in pass blocking. Teets: "primarily plays left guard but also took a handful of snaps at right guard and center in 2023. He's a densely built lineman despite only being listed at 316 lbs. Harris appears to sport massive arms that give him a significant length advantage against interior defensive linemen. Harris deploys a wide base in pass protection and drops an anchor most defenders struggle to break. He grinds down and eliminates speed to power rush attempts. Harris suffers from many of the technical flaws associated with one-year starters. The issues most often manifest in his hand usage. He prefers to use two-handed punches instead of independent hands and hurts himself with inaccurate or predictable strikes."
