Running Back Rank: #149
Overall: #662
Harrison had 14 carries with the Lions before they tried to trade him. Fortunately for him, during the physical to complete the trade doctors found a brain tumor. If that doesn't happen, who knows what happens to Harrison? The prognosis for his long-term health and to resume his career is positive, though. He could play again in 2012. Harrison had a breakout year in 2009, topping 1,000 total yards for the first time in his career. But he has fewer than 400-rushing yards in all his other seasons. Harrison isn't the biggest back, but is a solid playmaker with some big-play ability. He has quick feet, decent speed and above-average hands. As long as he is healthy, he'll battle for a backup job in 2012.

The big thing for Harrison is to see him healthy. We hope he can make a full recovery and resume his playing career. He isn't worth a draft pick but is worth monitoring if he makes an NFL roster. He has a little total yardage potential when all is going well for him. |

| The Detroit Lions need to address their running back position during the NFL Draft or free-agent market. While RBs Jahvid Best (concussion) and Mikel Leshoure (Achilles') are under contract, the team enters the offseason without a clear No. 1 running back. If Best and Leshoure return at 100 percent, the Lions will be in good shape -- however, that is tough to bank on at this point in time. RBs Joique Bell, Jerome Harrison and Keiland Williams are also under contract. |

| Detroit Lions backup RB Jerome Harrison has impressed head coach Jim Schwartz with his play during the preseason. 'Every time he goes in, he gains yards. He is a very, very productive runner,' Schwartz said. Schwartz added that Harrison doesn't get thrown for too many losses and has done a good job of breaking a lot of long runs. |
| Fantasy Impact: Harrison is worth a late-round flier come draft day. He has some upside, especially if you consider Jahvid Best is the only back ahead of him on the depth chart. |
