Tyreo
Harrison of Notre Dame Football
SELECTED BY PHILADELPHIA , ROUND 5, OVERALL PICK 162
Offensive Center/Guard | (6-2 , 238) | Notre Dame
Notes: The most experienced of the inside linebackers
back for Notre Dame in 2001, he has shown improvement in a
variety of areas of his game
Physical tackler who has started
the last two years
Finished his career with 185 tackles
(102 solos), four sacks for minus-24 yards and 20 stops for
losses of 41 yards
Caused three fumbles and recovered two
others.
Positives: Has a good-sized frame with adequate muscle
thickness and the frame that could add more bulk with no loss
of speed
Shows good flexibility and short area quickness
Stays low in his pads when stepping up to fill the holes
Knows how to keep his feet while avoiding trash
Takes
proper angles to flow to the ball
Extends and wraps with
his arms when engaging ball carriers
Shows the hip snap
and change of direction agility to flash to the play with
speed.
Negatives: Lacks the hand punch needed to stack and
control at the line
Struggles to disengage because of a
lack of true power
Looks lost in pass defense, as his long
angle pursuit is off
Lacks awareness to stay with the receivers
in the zone
Does not read blocking schemes well
Seems
to get passive when he should be fighting pressure
Shows
a marginal use of his arms when attempting to separate
Has
to make adjustments on the move, as he does not instintively
key and diagnose the plays
More of a trailer type in man
coverage, rather than one who would mirror the receivers
moves
Has good foot speed, but seems to get lost in transition
with his backpedal, not getting proper depth
Rarely called
upon to blitz as he is not always quick to anticipate to get
upfield.
