2. Chris Harris, CB, Kansas

Cornerback Chris Harris didn’t go to a big football school in college. As a member of the Kansas Jayhawks, Harris had a collegiate record of 28-22. Despite the odds, Harris still left as one of the top cornerbacks in Jayhawks’ history.

His on-field success didn’t translate to a selection in the 2011 NFL Draft. Harris went undrafted without an invite to the NFL Combine after Kansas.

He did, however, earn an invite to the Denver Broncos training camp and since then has become one of the top cornerbacks on the Broncos defense. Harris earned 2011 All-Rookie team honors as well as the Broncos’ Breakout Player of the Year award.

Harris went on to win a Super Bowl in 2015 with Denver. The three-time Pro Bowler and ball-hawk has 78 starts in 95 appearances since being signed in 2011. He has racked up 331 tackles, 66 pass breakups, 14 interceptions, four fumble recoveries and three interception returns for touchdowns in his six seasons with Denver as well.
