Draft Profile: Ohio State LB Malik Harrison
24 January 2020 DRAFT
Malik Harrison 2020 NFL Draft Profile
Measureables: 6’3″ 240 LBs
Malik is making noise this week at the Senior Bowl. The kid can hit and he’ll leave opponent limping on the sideline. He is a traditional LB who loves contact and blowing up plays. He does lack some range in coverage but his effort is so consistent that teams know that he can improve there. Scouts have said his coverage skills already look much improved just this week alone. Harrison flies all over the place and just hits everything in his way. Harrison would fill a void in the Eagles defense and bring a lot of juice.
