2019 NFL Combine: 6 Players With the Most to Gain
N'Keal Harry, WR, Arizona
In a draft that is in need of elite position players, N'Keal Harry could help fill the void with a strong combine performance. Harry started right away for Arizona State, catching 58 passes as a true freshman and producing a pair of 114-yard performances in November of 2016. From there, Harry surpassed 1,000 receiving yards each of the next two years, yet he never had a year with double-digit touchdown receptions, though in 37 collegiate games, Harry managed 26 touchdowns (22 receiving, 3 rushing, 1 punt return) and got the ball in a variety of ways, including scoring from the wildcat.
When accounting for age, Harry's production is all the more impressive. PlayerProfiler gives Harry an 88th-percentile College Dominator Rating with an impressive 95th-percentile Breakout Age. Those on-field results coupled with the physical traits (6'4", 213 lbs) should get Harry drafted in the first round. An impressive combine could very well thrust Harry to the very top of the position group. At the moment, the consensus at wide receiver is D.K. Metcalf of Ole Miss. While Metcalf is also expected to test well, he's only caught 67 passes in 21 collegiate games and is more upside potential than finished product.
The PlayProfiler database has Harry compared favorably to A.J. Green. Harry broke out at a younger age and has a slightly higher Dominator Rating, but the two are nearly identical in height, weight, and yards per reception at the college level. Harry is a former Sun Devil and appears to have a very bright future.
