Here's what impresses me as his character - he injured himself in the game against (florida, I think) and he said he did what he thought a Good Defensive captain should do, he played through the pain. After the game he was diagnosed with a torn bicep and needed surgery, thus ending his final year in college.
- I want a guy that likes to play the game. He does.
Also, he was still injured at the combine and could have easily said so and waited for his pro-day to work out, but he didn't. the only thing he didn't do at the combine is the bench.
His stats at Ten, were pretty good, he's a motor penetrating DT and would fit in with what we want pretty darn well.
Not saying I know we will pick him, I don't have a problem with us picking him at 23 is all I'm trying to say. And I don't want the bottom of the tier at WR just because everyone thinks that's what we need.

That's the thing.
I got the sense that Harrell was pretty highly thought of at the start of the season, and had he not been injured, he might well have been a lower first round prospect by season's end.
His workouts might have moved him up into top 20.
Because he lost the season to injury his stock fell, and his workouts have moved him back up to where he should have been if not for that injury.
