Question for Thunder on Damien Harris…. Do you think he could have contributed significantly at M this year? …It’s not like he would be behind the same level of RBs at M.
You seemed pretty high on him in his commit post but he never stuck around to get his TTB rating.

I do think he would have contributed. After all, Karan Higdon got a shot and probably would have played more if he had produced much of anything. The staff clearly didn’t think much of Drake Johnson’s abilities to run the ball by the end of the year (maybe lingering effects from the injury?), so we were essentially down to one true running back (Smith) by the end of the season. I think Harris could have at least been a significant backup.
