Broncos cornerback Chris Harris had his hands full on against the Kansas City Chiefs earlier this month, and he’s got the stats to back it up.
The 29-year-old star reportedly wears a Fitbit during almost every NFL game to track his fitness levels and overall health. Normally, Harris runs about 11 miles per game. I don’t care who you are, that’s pretty impressive. (RELATED: Former NFL Lineman Roy Miller’s Divorce Gets Nasty After Domestic Violence Allegations)

If this doesn’t convince you that the Chiefs are playing at a championship level, I don’t know what will.
