Drae Harris played collegiately at California and worked in NFL scouting departments for the Cardinals, Chiefs and Browns. (Go here for all Harris’ scouting reports.)
Penn State’s Joey Porter Jr., whose dad played in the NFL, is a 6-foot-2, 193-pound redshirt junior who earned Second-Team All America by the Associated Press and First-Team All-Big Ten by the coaches and media in 2022.
Strengths: Porter, who ran the 40-yard dash in 4.46 seconds at the NFL Scouting Combine, has sufficient agility and quickness for the position. As a force player against the run game, he is an aggressive and willing tackler. He has good length and size and uses his length to re-route receivers at the line of scrimmage and stay in phase in press man while easily opening his hips to run with outside releases.
When the receiver has a step on him, he uses his length to interfere at the catch point. He plays with a competitive spirit and challenges receivers when the ball is in the air. He may be able to play safety or moneybacker in sub-package personnel groups.
