That's when the Bears came calling, trading a 2024 seventh-round pick for the 24-year-old receiver. Harry told reporters Wednesday at Halas Hall that he jumped when he heard the news that he was finally going to have a new chance.
"I was actually asleep and my manager was at my house and he came downstairs, told me I just got traded, and when he told me I got traded to the Bears, man I was excited," Harry said. "I jumped up out of bed. I was just excited; that was just my initial feeling."
Harry, now 24 years old, hopes the change of scenery can help him finally find success in the NFL.
"I just feel like it is a good fit for me," Harry said on the Chicago Bears. "Even when I came into the building, I just felt a lot of good vibes. Everybody here is excited. I'm looking forward to the season, and it's just a reset for me, a good reset."
"I've got a real chip on my shoulder," he said. "I'm looking to come in and do anything I can to help this team win. I feel like I fit very well within the offense, so I'm ready to go.
"I feel like it really is a fresh start, a much-needed fresh start for me. I am excited I feel like I'm at a very good place mentally. I put in a lot of work this offseason and I'm ready for it to show on the field."
