Originally just a casual long-distance friendship, the two spend more time together now that Harnish is a member of the Vikings practice squad.

Harnish visits the Gophers facility on his days off and recently studied video with Leidner and the other Gophers quarterbacks. Harnish watched the past two games from the sideline, offering encouragement to Leidner between series.

“It’s cool to have a guy who’s been through it all to be able to help you like that,” Leidner said.

Harnish makes it clear he’s not trying to overstep his bounds. He remains very close to his former coaches, particularly quarterbacks coach Jim Zebrowski. Those men are the experts, but Harnish appreciates that Kill entrusted him to help nurture Leidner’s development.

Cool to see the relationship-building between both college and pro franchises in both football and basketball.
