Harrison Hand, CB, Temple
A player commonly mocked to the Seahawks as an early day-3 candidate, the dream is still alive for Harrison Hand to end up in Pete Carroll’s cover-3 defense.
Hand is a lengthy, physical defensive back with a 76 3/8 inch wingspan and 31 6/8 inch arms. He is a punisher, particularly in the run-game, and excelled in cover-3 defensive schemes, making Seattle an ideal landing spot for his size, physicality, and overall fit.
Hand is raw, and probably won’t be ready to play real snaps on the defense right away. That’s okay though, because Seattle has Shaquill Griffin, Quinton Dunbar and Tre Flowers in the mix at corner – allowing Hand to settle into a role on the special teams while he develops and hones his craft learning from three legitimate NFL starters.
After a year or two, he could be the next great Carroll defensive back project come to life, helping jumpstart a new era of Seahawks football in the secondary.
