I don't get how he works as a 3-4 OLB in the NFL. What makes him draftable? This from the Alabama pro day via Tony Pauline Quote: In Tuscaloosa, Don'ta Hightower stood on his 40 time from the combine, but did improve one inch in the vertical jump, touching 33 inches. During drills, Hightower showed some stiffness changing direction and was not quick in coverage drills. His backpedal looked mechanical and forced, while Hightower showed little in the way of being able to burst out of his plant. He's a big, forceful linebacker with solid straight line speed, but Hightower did nothing today to dispel the belief he's a two-down defender. Hightower's performance was in stark contrast to Jerrell Harris, a linebacker often overlooked due to the star power playing around him.
Harris measured 6-2 1/2 and 241 pounds. He cracked 4.6 seconds on a number of stopwatches and tapped 35 inches on the vertical jump. During drills, Harris looked quick, athletic and fast. He easily changed direction and showed lateral speed in coverage drills. With his size and speed, Harris can line up at a number of outside linebacker positions in the NFL.

I figured you would know. 4-3 OLB, perhaps?

While Harris may not have been good enough to beat out Upshaw, it still says something that Saban started him in the middle along with Hightower even though the middle might not be Harris' strongest position. Anyway, I like the kid and mocked him to the Steelers several weeks ago I believe in my diaper changing mock.

Drama... I realize the workout numbers are not everything... for those pass rushers they're pretty damn predictive, especially predicting the degree of risk.. So, it's not to say he can't do 3-4OLB, it's that he has neither the power to be a Woodley type or the speed to the edge to be Ware. he seems like he could be a good football player, though, so I don't mean to discount it. If you want an example of a major-program guy who was kind of buried in a rotation but who might have a chance to be a more productive player in the NFL, it could be Louis Nzegwu from Wisconsin. I think some 3-4 team is going to hit on him late in the draft and he'll be productive as a pass-rusher. Guys like that are pretty safe bets to me because their floor is still good ST body.

Harris was a 4 star recruit coming out of high school but he got overshadowed on that Bama team. I think the Steelers would view him as an ILB and ST guy.
