Drafted by Cowboys 6th Round - Pick 193 - LB Devin Harper (Oklahoma State)

[DallasEast]

https://www.nfl.com/prospects/devin-harper/32004841-5225-6419-642e-8535c2f8bdff

Overview

Harper is a 4-3 Will linebacker candidate whose strong athletic traits could outweigh his lack of starting experience for some teams. His pursuit of the ball is bolstered by his speed and agility, providing him with NFL-caliber range. However, his lack of instincts and play recognition will require a much-needed upgrade. Harper's special teams potential could give him a chance to make a practice squad.
Strengths

• Impressive speed and explosiveness at linebacker.
• Ran 4.49-second 40-yard dash and posted a 40 1/2-inch vertical leap at pro day.
• Stays square, mirroring ball-carrier in his scrapes.
• Uses wingspan to get into blocker quickly and separate.
• Explosive burst in his pursuit.
• Springy and agile as an open-field tackler.
• Athletic ability to range and move in coverage.
• Talented in punt and kick coverage.

Weaknesses

• Full-time starter in only one of his five seasons.
• Lacks desired length for the position.
• Allows blockers to find him at the second level.
• Erratic body control getting into tackle tries.
• Very average awareness as zone defender.
