The Kansas City Chiefs made a splashy selection in the first round of the 2025 NFL draft, adding Ohio State left tackle Josh Simmons. Between drafting Simmons and signing Jaylon Moore, general manager Brett Veach solidified Kansas City’s offensive tackle position. Now it’s time to add more weapons for Patrick Mahomes.
Ole Miss Rebels wide receiver Tre Harris is a tall, well-built 6'2 3/8", 205 lb. All-American. His height and density help him muscle through press coverage. He’s not an elite athlete by testing standards, but his supreme route running generates natural separation.
Harris lacks the immediate burst to threaten press cornerbacks, but he quickly builds up speed to stack soft shoe corners at the intermediate level. He pulls away in the final few steps of fade routes to create downfield opportunities. Harris suffers from some concentration drops but displays excellent body control and ball tracking. His impressive vertical jump reflects his basketball background. He plays above the rim and snags some jaw-dropping one-handed catches.
Harris stems his routes to force cornerbacks to open his hips before he sharply breaks in the opposite direction. He uses head and shoulder fakes to break down defenders before snapping his route off at the stem’s peak. Harris runs the stutter-go better than most wide receivers in the class. Unlike many tall receivers, he separates on comebacks and curls by quickly gathering himself and decelerating to turn.
Harris occasionally gets stuck on press coverage. He needs to diversify his release package and expand his route tree beyond the basic concepts embraced in Ole Miss’ offense. Harris doesn’t offer much after the catch, but that shouldn’t detract from him too much since the Chiefs already have so many creative players who thrive on schemed touches.
Concerns about the groin injury from last season and his subpar 4.54 40-yard dash could cause Harris to drop in the draft. It’s unlikely he falls anywhere close to pick 95, but it’s realistic to hope he’s available at pick 64 or 66. His size and success winning outside would add diversity to Kansas City’s wide receiver room.
