After being selected in the first round of the 2001 NFL draft, Harris played six seasons in the NFL, five for the San Francisco 49ers and one for the Oakland Raiders. He last played in the NFL for the Raiders in 2008 and briefly reappeared with the UFL's Florida Tuskers in 2010.
In 2013, Harris was convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence, battery and assault following a dispute with an ex-boyfriend. He was sentenced to three years' probation and five days in a county jail.
