Damien Harris – Noteworthy
Ten bold predictions for the 2019 NFL Scouting Combine: Many of top-rated RBs will run slow (but does it matter?)…All year long I’ve bemoaned the lack of top-shelf talent at running back available in the 2019 NFL draft, where only one runner – Alabama’s Josh Jacobs – will earn a top 40 selection. While 40-yard dash times are one of the least reliable indicators of future success of running backs in the NFL, speed is clearly important and it is one of the areas in which this year’s class is lacking. Expect plenty of times in the mid to late 4.5s and 4.6s, including by otherwise quality backs like Jacobs’ teammate at Alabama, Damien Harris, as well as Kentucky’s Benny Snell and Iowa State’s David Montgomery. – Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com
