Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart and wide receiver Tre Harris have been at the NFL Combine all this week. Yesterday, they took part in media interviews, with both having moments that have done the social media rounds.

One was when Dart, who had been throwing Tre Harris the ball for the past two seasons, was asked about the wide receiver. The Utah native answered in six words.

"The best receiver in this draft class."

Yes Dart is going to offer a biased opinion. However, he has also seen first hand how Harris has dominated in the SEC for the last two season.

After three seasons at Louisiana Tech, Harris jumped to the SEC with the Rebels. The transition looked easy, having a 985-yard season with eight touchdowns. That would have easily been over 1,000, but he missed two games with an injury.

The following season, he surpassed 1,000 yards. This accomplishment seemed mind-blowing, as he did it while missing five games. Harris leads the SEC in receiving yards from week 7 to 10 despite missing two games.

Dart trusted his wide receiver, constantly throwing the ball to him on drives, and was not worried about the matchup Harris faced. Honestly, it was rare that the Louisiana native did not come down with the ball.

Harris was asked about facing up against defensive backs who cover him, with himself coming out with a quote for the ages.

"Something I take pride in is going out there and taking the DBs soul"
Tre Harris

It ties in perfectly with one of the coldest images of the 2024 season.

Harris and Dart will be at least round 2 picks in the NFL Draft in Green Bay when April rolls around. The latter has a chance of pushing into the first round. However, both are set to have excellent NFL careers.
