Harris was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the sixth round (184th overall) of the 2018 NFL Draft.[2] On September 3, 2018, Harris was placed on injured reserve.[3] He was activated off injured reserve to the active roster on November 1, 2018.[4] In Week 16 against the Chicago Bears, Harris made a late hit on Mitchell Trubisky. As a result, he was fined $10,026 six days later.

On August 31, 2019, Harris was waived by the 49ers and was signed to the practice squad the next day.[5][6] He was promoted to the active roster on October 3, 2019.[7]

During Week 13 against the Baltimore Ravens, Harris forced a fumble on quarterback Lamar Jackson and recovered the football during a narrow 20–17 road loss.[8] The 49ers reached Super Bowl LIV, but lost 31–20 to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Harris signed a one-year contract extension with the 49ers on March 5, 2021.[9]

At the beginning of the 2021 NFL season, it was reported that Harris was making the switch from strong safety to linebacker.[10]
