Former Georgia TE Jackson Harris is reportedly getting an NFL opportunity.
Anthony Dasher of Rivals shared Saturday on Twitter that Harris has agreed to a three-year deal with the Seattle Seahawks, per Harris’ agent. It was reported in April that Harris, an undrafted free agent, had rookie camp opportunities with both the Seahawks and the Atlanta Falcons.
Harris saw limited action in four seasons at UGA (2015-18), logging a total of just eight catches for 79 yards in his Bulldogs career. Despite his lack of playing time, Harris was able to get the attention of NFL teams with an impressive showing at UGA’s Pro Day this past spring, demonstrating great size, route-running and hands.
