Summary

Harris Joins Giants

Defensive lineman Jalen Harris signed with the New York Giants after playing all 17 games for the Cleveland Browns in 2025, posting 32 tackles and one sack.
He blocked six kicks, a skill he credits to his high-school basketball experience at Homestead High, where he set the career blocked-shot record.
Harris advocates for families dealing with Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome after his son Shelby Jr. was diagnosed with the rare allergy.
