Malik Nabers needed a quarterback in his junior year at Comeaux High School. So he convinced Tre Harris to stay at the position. The two friends were playmakers together. Could they be teammates again with the Giants, as Harris (6-3, 210) ultimately went back to WR and became a weapon for Ole Miss? Harris has solid run-after-catch potential and can play all over the field. That versatility appeals to Big Blue as a Day...
