After the combine, the hotel room Harrison shared with Clemson WR DeAndre Hopkins was found to be left in a state where "urine and feces were found around the bathroom, toothpaste was left on the mirror and partially eaten food was on one of the beds," per ESPN, who also reported that NFL sources did not believe Harrison was responsible for what happened to the room. Both players denied responsibility.
