Quote:Harbor had a 40" vertical and had 30 bench press reps at the combine, which was the best for TEs that year.  

 

He seems to be a nice pass catching TE.  Lageman also said that he's not a liability blocking.  It was a nice pickup last year from the Eagles, who already have 2 good TEs on their roster.

 

This is a great opportunity for Harbor.  He's behind an older and highly overpaid Marcedes Lewis.  He has at least 6 weeks of starting opportunity ahead of him with a rookie QB.

 

If he can become one of Blake's favorite targets, he might earn himself a starting job next year.  

 

I think the days of Marcedes being our guy are done.  He's had 2 straight years of injury problems, is very expensive, and isn't getting any younger.

 

The Marcedes injury could be a blessing in disguse because no way would Clay Harbor have a chance at being the starter this year with a healthy Lewis.

 

We will find out when Lewis returns if he can still be effective enough to get the starting job back. After what happened Sunday, I am confident we will be fine with Harbor.
