Overview

N’Keal Harry is a big, physical WR with outstanding ball skills.  He attacks the ball at the highest point.  He surprised me at the Scouting Combine by running a 4.53 forty.  He is not that fast when you watch him on film.  He has a tough time creating separation and needs to improve as a route runner.  He is a possession wideout at the next level.  He should be drafted somewhere on day 2.
