Ohio State LB Malik Harrison
Harrison seems to be one of the more underrated linebacker prospects in terms of his ability in pass coverage. He consistently ranked at the top in passer rating allowed in the Big Ten conference. He put his coverage skills on display in full at the Senior Bowl, allowing just a 2.8 passer rating on 3 targets including 1 interception per Pro Football Focus.
In addition to his good instincts in coverage, Harrison is a perfect form tackler. At 6-3 and 247 pounds, Harrison’s body type compares favorably to former Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson. He might not be the elite athlete that Johnson was, but few players at the position are.
