Con's:
- Lack of straight line speed – serous liability asking to match vertical receivers in man coverage
- Doesn’t possess the range to operate the deep field from sideline to sideline
- Shifty slot receivers expose his stiffness. Gives up separation too easily
- Short arms. Lack of length will affect his prowess competing for the football in the NFL
- Surprisingly flimsy arms when trying to tackle at extension – worrying missed tackle rate when not able to fire his body through contact
The Verdict:
“If nothing else, Kolby Harvell-Peel’s tape is a fun watch. This kid had some kind of big play magnet embroidered into his pads in Stillwater - the production across all categories in only three years for The Pokes is quite simply astonishing. It becomes even more confusing when you consider his athletic profile - KHP simply doesn’t possess the quicks to be around the football on every play, and yet there he was turning games on a weekly basis. Harvell-Peel likely won’t have that impact in the NFL, where his deficiencies are even more exposed, and his ideal and possibly only value on defense is as a box safety. But I want to see him on special teams where I think he will thrive in all four phases - if he does that to the same level he’s played defense at college, KHP could be too good an asset to not make a roster.”
