After much family upheaval, Panthers' Harris living a dream

Harris, a 23-year-old linebacker, is like hundreds of other NFL players, waking up this morning on the bubble as teams submit final cuts by the NFL's 4 p.m. EDT deadline on Saturday. But he has already faced more hardship than being cut would bring.

Given up by his parents at birth, Harris bounced between 12 homes and nine schools by the time he was 15, when he legally emancipated himself from his biological mother and father.

That meant supporting himself through high school by working four jobs while playing four sports and keeping up a 3.49 grade-point average.

    • No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.    
    • It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
