Rams showing interest in athletic UCF WR/TE Jacob Harris

[nighttrain]

much to like here,

Harris ran the 40-yard dash in 4.40 seconds at 6-5 and 219 pounds. He has 33.5-inch arms, an 81.25-inch wingspan and did the three-cone drill in 6.51 seconds. His 40.5-inch vertical and 11-foot-1 broad jump are equally impressive, showing off his explosiveness.

He has just two years of production, however. He caught 49 passes for 987 yards and nine touchdowns at UCF in 2019 and 2020, which marked the first time he caught a pass in college. Harris obviously needs time to develop, being as inexperienced as he is, but his ceiling is high.

The Rams could use a jump-ball receiver on offense and with Harris’ size and leaping ability, he could be just what the doctor ordered.

Is he smart. If so I'm good with adding him. But in general the big freak types aren't fits in this offense.

Maybe Stafford changes that though. He's one of those QBs who can put that ball on the correct shoulder down the field.

I think Harris goes higher than he’s likely worth. These freak athletes are always a role of the dice imo.

Where is he projected to go?

Where is he projected to go?

I think day 3 or udfa. Some team will likely love his athleticism and take him in round 6. Imo

This is McVay's Ram team, not Jeff Fisher...and in McVay I'll trust
