Harrison was considered a potential late-round prospect for the 2013 NFL Draft[1] and was invited to the combine. After the combine, the hotel room Harrison shared with Clemson WR DeAndre Hopkins was found to be left in a state where "urine and feces were found around the bathroom, toothpaste was left on the mirror and partially eaten food was on one of the beds," per ESPN, who also reported that NFL sources did not believe Harrison was responsible for what happened to the room. Both players denied responsibility.[2]
On May 20, 2013, he was signed by the New England Patriots as an undrafted free agent.[3] On August 26, 2013, he was placed on the reserve/non-football injury list.[4] He was released by the Patriots on June 4, 2014 after being late to OTAs.[5]
Harrison was signed by the Chiefs in 2014. He was released on August 30, 2014.[6]
