Positives: Great intangibles and work ethic. A coach’s dream. Very instinctive. A see-the-ball-and-run-to-it-type linebacker who makes plays and plays very hard. Good key and diagnose and has a great motor. Shows awareness in pass coverage. Very productive in college. A leader. Has gotten bigger and stronger.

Negatives: Lacks great bulk strength and power. Does not take on and shed blocks that well. Gets bounced around at times and is not powerful enough to step up and really stack the run. Lacks explosiveness and is just an above-average athlete. May not be strong enough to play in the middle alone or on the strong side over a tight end unless he is protected. Is not as quick, nimble and athletic as teams would like on the weak side and has some trouble with man-on-man coverage.

Summary: Terrific college player with great intangibles who should make it in the NFL and contribute, but he is not a top prospect because of his limitations.

Positives: Excellent size. Good athlete. Fits the mold size-wise and is really well put together. Tough, competitive and intense. Vocal team leader. Special-teamer’s personality. Likes to play.

Negatives: Does not play with really good leverage and has a hard time shedding blocks. Lacks anticipation and feel. Slow to locate the ball. Must see the play unfold before he can react. Does not appear to have a good feel for pass coverage. Slightly overaged. Will turn 25 in November.

Summary: Big, tough linebacker who lacks great natural instincts, but he has some tools to work with and is a competitor and warrior.

Positives: Extremely productive college football player who has been durable. Very active and has good instincts. Plays fast and can be explosive. Always seems to be around the ball. Plays hard and competes well.

Negatives: Undersized. Is more of a run-around rather than take-on-type linebacker and will get engulfed by bigger blockers at times. Does not turn that fluidly in coverage or have a great feel in zone coverages. Better hitter than tackler and, at times, will miss some tackles because he goes for the kill instead of wrapping up. Will be coming off a fractured left forearm and a knee scope in ’02.

Summary: A terrific college football player who is small for the pros, but he still should be a solid NFL player, provided that he is healthy and goes to a team that uses a scheme that does not ask him to take on the blockers very often and gives him a chance to run to the ball.

Positives: Very good athlete. Plays with excellent game speed, power and passion. Can play over and really control the tight end. Has the quickness to rush off the edge. Fills well. Will hustle and chase. Has sideline-to-sideline range. Big hitter with a touch of nasty. Likes to punish the man with the ball. Has good hands, which are very big, for catching the ball. Can turn and run with people in pass coverage. Prepares well, watches film and plays with confidence.

Negatives: Did not have a great senior year, although in fairness to Harris, it should be pointed out he was playing out of position. Is not a natural pass defender and is not as instinctive vs. the pass as he is against the run. Looks a little stiff in coverage and does not have fluid hips. Will get wired to the blocker at times and does not always use his hands well.

Summary: If he is not the top linebacker taken, he will be one of the first to go. Has almost everything scouts are looking for in an outside linebacker and could be a great 3-4 ’backer if he goes to a team like the Steelers.

Positives: Excellent intangibles. Great worker. Very smart and disciplined. Tries to do everything the way it is coached. Studies tape for tendencies. Runs well and has good range. Uses hands pretty well to shed blockers and control the tight end. Generally plays the game on his feet.

Negatives: Is a good athlete who works out well but on tape looks a little stiff and straight-linish at times and does not have great change of direction or feet. Lacks top explosiveness and is not a great take-on type of linebacker. Prefers to run around blockers. Is very smart and prepares well but lacks great instincts and reaction speed. Seems to think instead of just reacting at times. Plays hard but is no killer.

Summary: A good player with a great work ethic who lacks special physical qualities in some areas and is not superinstinctive. Can become a solid pro if he can improve in some areas but may lack the intuitiveness and explosiveness to be a special player.

Positives: Very good athlete. Quick and active with the speed to run plays down. Instinctive vs. the run. Has been durable and productive. Versatile enough to have started at all three LB positions. Tough and competitive. Should do well on special teams. Very good weight-room numbers and is very strong pound-for-pound in the weight room. Reportedly can bench-press close to 500 pounds, which is more than twice his body weight, and handle more than 400 pounds on the incline press.

Negatives: Lacks great size. Is not really big enough to be a true "Mike" or "Sam" linebacker in the NFL. Gets knocked down a lot and blocked in the middle when he tries to take on blocks instead of running around them. Takes himself out of some plays when he runs around. Has not been very productive in coverage and may lack a good feel for it. Also looks a little stiff at times.

Summary: A very good football player but may not be a great fit at any of the LB positions unless he gets a lot more natural in coverage. In that case, he would make an excellent "Will" ’backer.

Positives: Looks the part. Has a great body. Is very athletic and has tremendous speed and jumping ability. Runs like a deer and jumps like a kangaroo. Can be an explosive hitter. Can make plays sideline to sideline and blitz off the edge. At times, does a terrific job in coverage and looks natural. Can run with receivers and backs and blanket tight ends. Should make an excellent special-teams player.

Negatives: Hot and cold player whose lack of football instincts and experience often handicap him. Can do everything you would want an outside linebacker to do, but does not do anything well on a consistent basis. Late reactor who generally needs to see things unfold before he can react. Will let the play-action fake freeze him. Has too much indecision in his play. Lacks awareness against the pass and at times will look a little lost. Has a hard time coming off blocks. When he gets blocked against the run or when blitzing, he tends to stay blocked. Has not been that durable.

Summary: Great workout guy who flashes all the tools, but unless the light goes on and he really starts to see the big picture, he will be a player that looks like Tarzan and runs like a deer, but does not get enough done. Is a lot like Mark Fields was, but not as nasty, aggressive or explosive.

Positives: Top competitor with excellent intangibles. Prepares well, pays attention to the little things and knows the defense. Is a very active and instinctive player who has a motor that is going 100 mph. Makes plays. Catches the ball very well and has done some punting.

Negatives: Lacks size and strength at the point of attack and can’t step up, shed and fill like scouts would like. Playing strength may always be a problem because of the way he is built (narrow without a good powerbase).

Summary: An active, instinctive and productive player who lacks size and must be protected by those in front of him to be effective.

Positives: Showed phenomenal improvement in ’01 after losing weight. Great effort guy who plays all-out all the time. Does the extras (film study, weight room) off the field as well. Has a passion for game. Good athlete. Very quick, fast and active. Flows to the ball well and takes good pursuit angles versus the run. Has a short-area burst of speed and can be an explosive hitter. Quick to read and react. Anticipates well and knows when to gamble.

Negatives: Lacks size as a middle linebacker at 230 but loses something when he adds weight. Needs to be protected, or the big blockers will smother him. Is much more of a run-around-the-blocker type than a take-on-and-shed player. Needs work on pass coverage.

Summary: An exceptional college player and a very good pro prospect whose lack of size will hurt him on the next level. May have to move to the weak side unless he is in a 3-4 scheme or plays for a team such as the Dolphins, who have giant-sized tackles to protect him and let him just run to the ball.

Positives: Showed dramatic improvement in ’01. Very productive football player. Very active and instinctive. Quick to read and react. Has a good feel for pass coverage and a knack for avoiding blockers. Solid tackler. Was the defensive MVP on a team with Julius Peppers and Ryan Sims.

Negatives: Lacks great size. At times will struggle a little to change directions. Is not fluid turning and has some stiffness. Is not very good at taking on and defeating blockers and is much better when uncovered.

Summary: Came on like gangbusters as a senior and was bigger and faster at the Combine than he ever had been in the past.
