Scouting Report: Strengths
- Harvey chases well in pursuit, and Harvey has the athleticism to play in space if asked to drop into coverage.
- As a pass rusher, he shows quickness off the line and has the fluid athleticism and flexibility to bend the edge.
- He is a high-motor pass rusher who shows a good feel for countering, and he has the functional strength to bounce off tackles and close on the quarterback with second effort.
- He has prototypical size, with a little more room on his frame to add weight. He shows impressive quickness at the snap and plays at a good pad level.
- Harvey has an excellent motor and shows the stamina to last deep into the fourth quarter.
- He’s explosive coming out of his stance, and he shows the ability to ward off blockers with quick, violent hands.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Average strength at the point. Loses the ball and lacks seasoning and attention to detail.
- He’ll need to add weight in order to play with a better anchor, but he’ll potentially be sacrificing athleticism and speed if Harvey does.
- Harvey could stand to be more violent as a tackler in the run game, as he too often allows backs to run through his arm tackles. Harvey also has limited experience dropping into coverage.
