Los Angeles shared a video of the moment when they told the wide receiver that they were going to draft him on X/Twitter. Chargers General Manager Joe Hortiz said that he knew the team would be able to acquire him in the second round before other franchises did.

"We're on the clock here, and yesterday I told coach that you're going to get to us. I just had a gut feeling, and sure as h*** you're sitting here on the phone with me, and I'm fired up to tell you you're about to be a Los Angeles Charger," Hortiz said.

Hortiz also praised the wide receiver for recovering from a sports hernia to participate in the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine:

"I'll tell you what. You're a fun player to watch man, and I know...I was so impressed that you sat there, you had that sports hernia repaired, and you went out there and competed and ran at the combine man.

"You didn't care what time you put down. You showed you're a competitor. So, we're fired up to have you, and you're going to be a hell of a player for us," Hortiz added.

The video later showed Harris celebrating with his friends and family as they saw the LA Chargers announce that they drafted him.

His best performance was in Ole Miss' 52-13 win against the Georgia Southern Eagles on Sept. 21, 2024. The wide receiver led the team in receiving yards, achieving 11 receptions for 225 yards and two touchdowns.

On Nov. 23, 2024, he played his final game with the Rebels in their 24-17 loss to the Florida Gators, where Harris had one catch for 43 yards and one touchdown. He suffered his sports hernia injury in the first half and didn't return for the rest of the game.

The LA Chargers' decision to sign him allows quarterback Justin Herbert to have another wide receiver option for the 2025 NFL season.
