The Chargers took Tre Harris with the 55th overall pick in the second round of April’s draft. Harris (23) played his final two seasons with Ole Miss after transferring from Louisiana Tech. He averaged 57 catches, 1,007 yards, and 7.5 touchdowns during those final two years while catching passes from Jaxson Dart.

“Strength, toughness, route running ability, production, all those things. He does them all at a high level. I think he’s going to be an outstanding pro.”

The Chargers seem like a good fit for Harris, and Harbaugh’s comments further propel his hype train going into 2025. There’s a clear path to targets. The team has a glaring need for an outside threat, with Ladd McConkey playing just under 2/3 of his snaps from the slot and being their only current quality receiver.

At 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds, Harris was dominant on the outside in 2024 for the Rebels and showed excellent skill at the catch point, outworking defenders with his body to bring down tough catches. He’ll face some competition from former first-rounder Quentin Johnston. However, Johnston’s history with drops and inconsistent play allows Harris the chance to prove he belongs in two-receiver sets to start the season. Right now, fantasy managers could make an argument to take Harris as the second receiver off the board in rookie drafts, behind Tet McMillan.
