Trib floated his name so I'm guessing they have some inside info here.
Marcus Harrison
DT, Arkansas
War Room analysis
Strengths: Gets moving quickly at the snap. When aggressive against the run, shows the strength to deliver hand punch to jolt blockers upright. Shows the quick hands to defeat offensive linemen with arm-over move, and shows a good burst to finish plays in the backfield. Shows the strength to hold his ground at the point of attack against the run, and flashes the ability to torque blockers off their feet and make tackles on runs at him. Is strong enough to fight through double-teams. Shows good athleticism to get off the ground after being cut and get back into the chase. Consistently gets inside "reach" blocks, keeping offensive linemen on his back while chasing the ballcarrier.
Weaknesses: Is a bit inconsistent. Must learn to attack every play. Tends to get upright and become a non-factor. Lacks explosiveness off the snap to shoot gaps. Does not consistently use hands to shed blockers or protect legs from cut blocks. Lacks a variety of pass-rush moves.
Bottom line: Harrison is tough to evaluate but shouldn't be written off. He has good size and rare athleticism, and he is a disruptive player when aggressive. Harrison will be a little up and down early in his career as he adjusts to the NFL, but after a season or two, he will become a productive starter who makes impact plays.
