ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Two weeks of offseason work for the last week of OTAs and mandatory minicamp were enough for Chris Harris Jr. to learn that he likes Head Coach Vic Fangio's defensive scheme.

"I think I fit it perfectly. You go into the slot -- a lot of that stuff in the slot, I've already done in my career and he's going to be able to use me a lot more in there," Harris said. "I like it so far."

The aspect he likes most is the implementation of zone coverages, which were rarely used in the Broncos' man-to-man-intensive schemes of the last four seasons.

"I think [it] is going to definitely help me out -- just not having a hard down every time, you know what I mean? I feel like in the past, I've had a hard down almost every play of the game," Harris said. "[It helps in] being able to help me play with vision a lot, be able to see the quarterback, break on the ball."

But while Fangio knows that Harris' versatility can make him a unique weapon, he also tempers that by saying that Harris remains "a little bit behind" because of the time he missed in April and May.
