Bill Belichick offers huge praise for Damien Harris, applauds his work ethic
Damien Harris’ 2021 season has definitely had some highs and lows so far. The former Alabama running back has had some really good performances, and then there’s been a couple where he’s fumbled the game away.
However, Bill Belichick stated that Harris still has gained a lot of respect in the locker room for his work ethic, and consistency on the field (via Chris Mason of Masslive):
Bill Belichick on Damien Harris: “He has a ton of respect from every player and coach in this organization, as he should, because he’s earned that. That’s not something you get from talking or some kind of false image. You get it from day after day consistent performance.”

Belichick also called Harris a poster boy for great work ethic during his time in the NFL.
“And he’s the poster boy for that. He works extremely hard, takes his job very seriously and always tries to perform at the absolute highest level and do what’s best for the team.” https://t.co/po3xbMsuvW
