Good new article by Demovsky again on this so-far giant bust.

To date, Harrell has been a bust on par with Jamal Reynolds, the defensive end the Packers picked 10th overall in 2001 and played in only 18 games.
And he knows it. Harrell has owned up to the fact that he hasn’t produced like he should have.
“I guess I am getting tired of (hearing) if,” Harrell said. “But it’s one of those things that’s expected. It probably won’t ever go away even if I go out and have a good season. That would help, but it’s one of those things where I’ve got to continue to work as long as I’m here as a Packer.”
Few have questioned Harrell’s ability. During his brief stints on the field, he has made an impact, shoving offensive linemen out of the way and creating room for linebackers to make plays.
“He’s big, physical, quick,” Packers defensive lineman Ryan Pickett said. “It’s just a matter of him staying healthy. Justin can play. Everybody on our team knows that if he’s healthy, the guy can play.”
There’s that if again.
