Dwayne Harris

After a decent career at Eastern Carolina, Dwayne Harris was a late round pick by the Dallas Cowboys in 2011, where he would serve mostly in Special Teams.

Harris was strong not just as a Returner but as a Gunner, which allowed him to enjoy a ten-year career in the National Football League.  A Cowboy for his four years, Harris was a New York Giant over his next three seasons, where he was a Pro Bowl Selection in 2016.  He also played for Oakland where he led the NFL in Yards per Punt Return in 2018.  Harris closed his career with a year in Chicago in 2020.
