The Detroit Lions have a new defensive end on their roster and his name is Charles Harris.
Last week, the Lions signed Harris to a 1-year, $1.75 million contract, and today, Harris met with the media for the first time since he signed on the dotted line.
During his intro Zoom meeting, Harris revealed what Lions’ owner Sheila Ford Hamp told him.
According to Harris, he and Ford Hamp spoke when he was in the building to sign his new contract and she told him that his role is to get after the quarterback.
“That’s all you have to do for me,” Ford Hamp said.
