These 3 videos really sum it up for Harris. It's what people need to watch. You don't have to listen to what I say or what all the talking heads say or where they were trying to predict he would land. Just watch the kid play and determine for yourself what you see. You don't have to be an expert to see. Just take the time to watch.
He was credited with .5 sacks against LSU, but it was on a play where Etling simply had no choice but to run into the sack trying to get back to the LOS after a play action fake at 2:20 in the video. The rest of the game Harris never defeated a single block. Never made one play in the backfield. Not one. He was absolutely owned snap after snap after snap. Even outrun in the open field by Etling at one point, who is a slow footed pocket style quarterback. The only time he was even worth mentioning was when the refs flagged him for unsportsmanlike conduct when they were down 35-7.
A combined 28 minutes worth of video for all three games and if you want to be generous, you can count only 9 or 10 plays against both W.V. and Vandy where he defeated any block to make a play in the backfield. Rest of the snaps weren't pretty. Some of em very, very poor in terms of recognition, saavy, or any display of athleticism.
He must learn how to use his hands. He's not even close. Gives up his breast plate way too easily. There you're neutralized again and again. If this is what passes for a 1st round pick at DE, what must a 2nd or 3rd rounder look like to the talking heads and people in Miami's front office...
I've watched all these kids with a critical eye for a long time. Some of you may be ecstatic with the selection, and that's fine by me. Just giving my opinion. I think you people deserved a better pick at #22 overall. Especially if they were fielding trade offers for the pick.
