Duriel Harris Biography

Duriel Harris is one of the most popular and richest American Football Player who was born on November 27, 1954 in Port Arthur, Port Arthur, United States. Duriel LaDon Harris, Jr. (born November 27, 1954) is a former American football wide receiver in the National Football League for the Miami Dolphins, Cleveland Browns, and Dallas Cowboys. He played college football at New Mexico State University.

In 1981, he regained his starting role, posting 911 yards (led the team) on 53 receptions (led the team) for the second-best total in franchise history, while playing with 2 different starting quarterbacks. Harris was involved in the hook and lateral play at the end of the first half of the 1981 AFC Division Playoff game versus the San Diego Chargers, that became known as The Epic in Miami. Harris received a 40-yard pass from quarterback Don Strock and then lateralled the ball to running back Tony Nathan, who ran the ball 25 yards for a touchdown. The Chargers eventually won the game in overtime.

On November 13, 1984, he was claimed off waivers by the Dallas Cowboys, who were thin at wide receiver after losing Drew Pearson and Butch Johnson, while both Tony Hill and Doug Donley suffered injuries. He only had one receptions for 9 yards during the season. He was cut on September 2, 1985.

In 1984, despite being the second leading receiver for the Cleveland Browns (32 catches for 512 yards), Harris was waived when Marty Schottenheimer replaced Sam Rutigliano as the team’s head coach after 11 games, because Schottenheimer considered that he dropped too many passes. His best game came against the New England Patriots, when he had 8 receptions for 136 yards.

Throughout his first years, the Dolphins were a run-oriented team and his role in the passing offense was limited to being the team’s deep threat, generally averaging over 17 yards per catch. In 1979, Harris and Nat Moore set a franchise wide receiver tandem with a combined 90 receptions for 1,638 yards. The next year Bruce Hardy passed him on the depth chart at receiver.
