[QUOTE="FrankRizzo, post: 518695, member: 2232"] More on this Chris Harper guy. Looks to me that he needs to WATCH THE BALL. All the muscles and swag in the world isn't going to help a dude catch the ***** football if they don't look the ball into their hands. How can professional, even college, receivers drop passes like this, not watching the football? [ATTACH=full]11658[/ATTACH][I] Chris Harper dropped what would have been a touchdown catch in the Seahawks' final preseason game[/I] The 49ers signed receiver Chris Harper off Seattle's practice squad, announcing Monday that he had joined the team with a three-year contract. MIKE SANDO, ESPN WEST GUY, breaks down this move the Niners made on Harper [url]http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/9626727/san-francisco-49ers-sign-4th-round-seattle-seahawks-wr-chris-harper[/url] Harper, who was drafted by Seattle in the fourth round (123rd overall), was among the weekend's surprise cuts. Seattle then signed him to its practice squad, but San Francisco offered him a chance to join its 53-man roster and he took it. He finished the preseason with four receptions for 39 yards but dropped two passes, including one on what should have been an easy touchdown reception in Seattle's final preseason game. HERE are a couple of NFL DRAFT PROFILES in HARPER from this spring: [url]http://www.nfl.com/draft/2013/profiles/chris-harper?id=2539246[/url] [SIZE=3][B]NFL Comparison[/B][/SIZE] Early Doucet [SIZE=3][B]Bottom Line[/B][/SIZE] It took Harper a couple of seasons, and a transfer from Oregon back to his home state, to embrace a position switch from quarterback to receiver.
