New York is in the market for new center after releasing veteran pivot Nick Mangold earlier this year. Fourth-year pro Wesley Johnson, who started eight games in Mangold’s absence last season, is projected to enter the 2017 campaign as the full-time center, but Martin reports Harrison will compete for the position. Johnson, a restricted free agent, was tendered at the second-round level, meaning he’ll earn $2.746MM next year.

Harrison, 25, started 19 games for the Colts from 2014-15, but served as a backup last season. In 13 contests, Harrison played on roughly 41% of Indianapolis’ offensive snaps, but he graded as one of the worst interior offensive lineman in the league. Pro Football Focus rated Harrison as the second-worst guard in the NFL in 2016, just ahead of Seattle’s Germain Ifedi.
