Draft Stock - Profiles

Strengths: Strength, versatility, experience
Weaknesses: Durability, questionable motor, character concerns

Statline: The first true freshman starter at Arkansas in more than 20 years, wrapped up his Razorback career with 170 tackles (15 for loss) and 2.5 sacks in 38 career games.

Technique: Run-stuffer capable of playing a two-gap technique and making plays at the line of scrimmage.

Known Injuries: Had surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee and missed spring practice in 2007. The injury also seemed to slow him as a senior. Had arthroscopic surgery to remove torn cartilage in his right knee in September 2006. Also missed time during his junior year because of a sprained ankle and suffered a concussion in practice. Missed one half of action in one game in 2005 because of a high ankle sprain.

Combine / Workout Assessment: COMING SOON

Analysis: On talent alone Harrison should be an early selection, as he is capable of playing end as well as tackle and fits the mold of a run-stuffing defensive linemen NFL teams love. However, a history of knee problems and an arrest on felony drug charges in 2007 hoist a pair of gigantic red flags on most NFL draft boards. Should he put those concerns behind him, he’ll then need to address consistency and motor issues. When he’s on Harrison can be a dominant interior force; the question is whether the team that drafts him can find the “on” switch.
