Sidney Derrick Harris (born September 18, 1972) is an American former professionalfootball player who was arunning back for four seasons with theSt. Louis Rams andSan Diego Chargers of theNational Football League (NFL). He playedcollege football for theMiami Hurricanes and was selected in the sixth round of the1996 NFL draft with the 175th overall pick.[3]
Harris had tworeceivingtouchdowns for the1998 St. Louis Rams; he had twelve of his career thirteen NFL catches in 1998. His other and final NFL touchdown came when he returned a blockedpunt atNew England on October 14, 2001, giving San Diego a 26–16 lead. (New England came back, tying the game in the final minute and then winning inovertime. The game-winning 46 yardfield goal was the first of three overtime game winners forAdam Vinatieri during the 2001 regular season and playoffs. With the win, New England climbed to 2–3, barely avoiding a 1–4 start. The game marked the first come from behind win inTom Brady's career, but the blocked punt, and his reaction to it, resulted inpunterLee Johnson's release following the game. Just four games earlier, Johnson had become the all-time leader in punting yardage, a feat made possible by some inferiorCincinnati Bengals and New England Patriots offenses over the course of Johnson's career.) Harris played in all 16 games with the2001 Chargers, but would not play in the NFL again after 2001.
