    Harrison looked real good. Barnes may be a one trick pony, but he is not a Maybin type one trick pony. He does just run up the field. He has some moves. He is not much good on runs, though.

    I follow the team and don't who "Snacks" is.

    I've figured it out, but why that nickname?

    Harrison = Snacks (and "Big Snacks"), if you weren't totally sure that your guess was right.

    That nickname was given to him by Karl Dunbar, who would leave rice krispy treats on his desk during team meetings. One of the concerns about Harrison was that he needed to lose some fat, and they were also concerned that he could gain a bunch of weight and not be able to play. So, it was sort of a motivational tool- maybe making him a bit self-conscious about eating junk food as a way to help him resist it.

    So far, Harrison has gotten his diet on track and he's eating healthier, lost weight, gained muscle, and he's doing great. He has the potential to be one of those rare UDFA guys who ends up being very good.

    It's a pretty fun nickname, I guess in the same vein as "The Refrigerator". The other fun thing is that snack rhymes with sack, and hopefully he'll be getting a lot of those this season!
