He's listed at 6'3" 255 lbs and played almost exclusively RE in the two games I watched, both as a down end and standing rusher.In edge rushers, I generally look for one of two foundation skill sets: the ability to convert speed to power, or the ability to burst and bend the arc. Harris is certainly the latter type of player. He's a twitched up, toolsy pass rusher who knows how to get the job done in more than one way. His ability to explode off the snap and bend around the corner was on display a few times in these games ( :16 in game 1; 2:55, 6:56 in game 2). He will also work from the outside back in (4:34 in game 2) and then fake the inside move and pop back to the outside (3:40 in game 1). Basically he works off that speed to play games with the tackle. And then he will mix in an absolutely devastating spin move (2:12, 4:20 in game 1; 3:37, 9:05 in game 2). At other times, he simply wins with perseverance or using his hands better than his opposition (4:09 in game 1; 4:11, 5:04 in game 2).Pure power isn't really Harris' game. His bull rush can look pretty unimpressive (1:24 in game 1), though it does come into play on occasion when his speed has OT's on their heels (6:30 in game 1). He is very much a hit and miss player against the run. He doesn't set much of a hard edge, tending to get contained or washed when he remains engaged. When he makes plays against the run, it's because he uses that same explosiveness and hand work that benefits him as a pass rusher (1:40, 4:00 in game 1; :34, 7:05, 8:34 in game 2). He's pretty lousy at recognizing misdirection or zone read stuff.Overall, I think that Harris profiles nicely as a 34 WOLB. His skill set and sophistication as a pass rusher would likely enable him to help in sub packages right away as a rookie. In time, he should be able to stand up and take over the weak side in base sets. At #29 (if he's still there), he sure looks like a good fit for the Packers.Game 1: <a href="http://draftbreakdown.com/video/charles-harris-vs-vanderbilt-2016/" target="_blank">Vanderbilt</a>Game 2: <a href="http://draftbreakdown.com/video/charles-harris-vs-west-virginia-2016/" target="_blank">West Virginia</a></blockquote>
