PLAYER ANALYSIS: Justin Harrell

A player that is shooting up many Draft Boards is Tennessee's "Justin Harrell". With players at the Defensive Tackle position such as Alan Branch & Amobi Okoye, Justin Harrell has been overshadowed & robbed of television coverage & hype.


After watching film on Harrell I am convinced that this young man is a 1st round talent. I could see him going somewhere in the late portion of the first round. Just watching his ability to penetrate the Offensive line & then give that extra athletic surge to get to the Quarter Back or the ball carrier is very, very impressive.


The only issue with Harrell is a durability question. He tore his bicep & missed seven games in his senior year. Impressively, Harrell played through the pain against rival Florida & now has shown he is fully recovered by putting up 31 reps of 225lbs at the NFL Combine!


Where could he end up? I could see Justin Harrell landing going as early as #21 to the Broncos, #23 to the Chiefs or even the defending Super Bowl Champs Indianapolis Colts at #32.


Here is a link to some video of Harrell over at ESPN.COM. They have tons of awesome video that you view at your leisure. Enjoy!
