Thats more than true, I know Willis was leading the league in tackles at one point in the past few weeks, does anybody know if that is still the case? I think that Harris is catching up quickly anyways, but I find it hard to believe that if Willis leads the league in tackles, Harris has any real shot at DROY. EDIT: I checked Willis leads the NFL in tackles with 128, 100 solo next closest guy is Demeco Ryans/ DJ Williams at 109. Harris is in 18th with 91 tackles, 66 solo Great stats by both Rookies, but unless Harris averages 20 tackles and a turnover a game, I think he will lose out to willis for DROY...
Willis deserves it more...Harris is still a hell of a player, and I think everyone in the league will know about him next year.
