The former University of Tennessee at Chattanooga left tackle signed with the Kansas City Chiefs on Tuesday and flew out to join his new team the same day. Harr said he talked with five teams before deciding on the Chiefs.
“They’ve been after me since the beginning, and they really like me,” he said. “It’s a good opportunity there, and I just thought it was the best fit for me.”
Harr said the Chiefs began showing an interest in him after the 2010 season opener against Appalachian State.
As a true freshman in 2007, Harr began his UTC career as a tight end. After the season he was moved to left tackle, and before his sophomore season then-coach Rodney Allison predicted that Harr would have a shot at the NFL if he could put on enough weight.
