Michael Harris Scouting Report |
Michael Harris - Florida State (HT: 5-10¼ - WT: 188) |
Positives -- Excels covering in the slot; has the ability to handle bigger receivers in the slot, looks most comfortable in this position, but also has the ability to play on the outside... Looks fluid in man coverage and is able to cover longer developing routes; has fluid hips to move and break in coverage...
Has good ball skills, awareness is a plus and possesses good range to make plays on the ball... Plays smart and understands what he can do on the football field, stays within his boundary... Understands his run fits and angles, physical yet reliable tackler when he gets to the football... Can play in both man and zone schemes, but his true value is his slot coverage skills; looks like he can help an NFL team from day one and has the tools to develop into an NFL starter in the future... A junior college transfer to Florida State who improved the Seminoles secondary upon his arrival; was part of a three-man starting rotation at cornerback and also saw plenty of snaps as a nickel corner.
Negatives -- Has just average height and build, needs to continue filling up his frame... Poor straight line speed, ran just a 4.68-40 at the combine... Unpolished footwork, has the tendency to overextend when routes are broken off in coverage, which leads to separation... Gets too high in his backpedal, stays upright, gets too off balance and can get turned around in coverage... Needs to be more physical with his hands in press coverage and work on re-routing wide receivers... Was somewhat unheralded at Florida State playing behind Xavier Rhodes and Greg Reid.
