Falcons acquire former first round pick Charles Harris from Dolphins

Charles Harris is getting a fresh start with a new organization following an unsuccessful tenure in the Sunshine State.

The Miami Dolphins announced they have traded the 22nd overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft to the Atlanta Falcons on Friday. In return, they received a seventh round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Harris, 25, had failed to live up to the lofty expectations coming out of the Missouri Tigers football program. He recorded just 61 combined tackles, 3.5 sacks 2 passes defended over a span of three seasons and 41 games with the Dolphins from 2017-2019.
