Apparently he worked out for NFL scouts:

Kind of a long shot but it would be awesome to see him get drafted. He would always play his ass off on the court.

seems like over the past few years a lot of basketball players have hoped they're the next antonio gates

that said, i hope he is

like a bull in a china shop

4/12/2010 11:58:52 AM

i don't even remember him playing football in high school

4/12/2010 12:30:05 PM

he always did look like a linebacker when he was on the floor. i guess playing semi-pro basketball in ireland gets tiresome pretty quickly.

4/12/2010 12:34:01 PM

props to him for pursuing this....

this one time, i took a shit that looked just like a train hitting a baby. so i ran to the nearest train station and, sure enough, saw a car stuck on the tracks with a baby inside and a train coming full speed. i ran, tried to lift the car up-dhorn style- then realized i was just some skinny kid without superpowers. the train hit the car. every died.
but the moral of the story is, that dookie inspired me.

That shit's ridiculous!!!

4/12/2010 3:20:36 PM

If he could post a good enough 40 time Oakland would take him with their first pick. They have to play Gates twice a year after all.

4/12/2010 3:29:53 PM

Why wouldn't he try to play a year of college ball first?

Or did he already use up all 5 years of eligibility?

4/12/2010 3:31:25 PM

he transferred from Elon, so he may have used up his eligibility

4/12/2010 3:33:30 PM

^^ I was wondering the same thing

4/12/2010 3:35:42 PM

Probably

2 years there, 1 to transfer, 2 years here

Too bad

That kid from Arizona who played football at Houston this year will probably get drafted eve tho he only caught 2 passes all season

6'6", 250, 4.48

Fendi something

love it.

hope simon does well, he's a true state fan

He played in middle school. I wish Simon the best but sometimes he lets his head get a little too big.

4/13/2010 12:58:14 AM

get that boy in the league

4/13/2010 1:07:50 AM

4/13/2010 1:35:41 AM

He used to come into Ruckus more than any other basketball player...dude is seriously one of the nicest people I've ever met. always really talkative, cool dude. hope he succeeds.

4/13/2010 8:50:54 AM

w/ no consideration for tact, i saw him in the atrium a few years back and asked him about johnny thomas' injury (when it was still unclear what had actually happened). he was really nice about it. i'm a fan.

4/13/2010 8:59:11 AM

yeh, he was really one of the nicest people I've ever known. I wish him well

4/13/2010 9:01:15 AM

simon and coach harris are great loyal state guys, i wish them both continued sucess.
don't know simon that well just played card with him a few times, and i think we were both on a trip to peurto rico with the team in like 97 lol.

4/16/2010 12:24:18 AM

i had spanish with him. Not only was he nice as shit in spanish, but when he would see me around campus, he would stop and talk to me or yell at me as he was driving by....and he gave me a beer at u-village pool.

4/16/2010 12:39:34 AM

4/16/2010 12:42:16 AM

It's awesome to hear that he's a good guy. Lot of people in his shoes act like they're above everyone else.

4/16/2010 9:05:32 AM

Word on the street is Dallas signed him as a UFA

Good luck in training camp bro

4/25/2010 3:13:11 AM

^bummer... i was hoping the jets would sign him so we could see him on hard knocks

4/25/2010 8:26:49 AM

Just for clarification the Cowboys have not signed him as an undrafted free agent.

According to their website Harris will be invited to rookie minicamp on a tryout basis only.

4/25/2010 10:25:10 PM

Saw Simon tonight... he's in great shape, says he's still working out with a bunch of teams.

Any media updates on him?

from the Technician article above:

Quote :

"Technician: Does this mean Wolfpack fans can expect to see you in a Cowboy uniform this fall? Harris: As of now, I’m pretty much banking on a no from the Cowboys. I would have known by now if they wanted for me this year. Right now it is more or less a matter of keeping my options open. I will probably take the year off, train, and go back at it next year. Technician: How confident are you that you are capable of becoming a successful NFL tight end? Harris: I’m extremely confident. For me to have not played in a decade and been invited to work out with pretty much the premier team in the league, that was big time. It was a huge blessing for me to get that far. For me to get positive feedback from them, them saying, ‘Keep at it,’ that was awesome. The tryout with the Cowboys was a huge boost for my confidence. I haven’t played the game since I was 13 years old and I worked out with one of the top five franchises in sports. Not yet hearing back from them hasn’t knocked my confidence at all. It was an awesome opportunity. The way I look at it, for them to tell me, ‘Stick at it and keep working out, you never know what can happen,’ that is not a no. I have heard different people get nos and they are sitting at home right now wondering what their next move is."
