SANTA CLARA – Chris Harper spoke at his locker Tuesday afternoon. Here’s what he said.
Q: Is H-back a new position for you?
HARPER: Yeah, I’ve never gotten in a three-point stance before. That’s going to be different for me.…
Extra Point:Harper has a long, long, long road in front of him. He may be someone who sees very little play time this year, but the 49ers are trying to keep their options open in case they have to let Vernon Davis walk after the season. Harper may be able to develop into a Walker like player - but that doesn't happen over night. Not only was Walker a great athlete, his head was always in the game, just like a quarterback.... hmmm maybe because he had some of that in him too.
