2. Charles Harris looks to be next big-time Missouri pass rusher
The upcoming draft is full of talent on the defensive side of the ball. Garrett obviously leads the class, and guys like Solomon Thomas (more on him momentarily) and Jonathan Allen deservedly receive plenty of fanfare.
One of the players not mentioned as much is Charles Harris out of Missouri — a school that puts out exceptional talent at this position on a regular basis. Harris looks to be following in the footsteps of Aldon Smith, Shane Ray and others whose skills have translated well to the pro game.
Though Harris didn’t post jaw-dropping numbers in any of the drills Sunday, he didn’t do anything that will hurt his stock either. Most impressively, his work on the field had scouts oohing and ahing.
Charles Harris is having a really good field workout.

The past two years at Missouri, Harris racked up 17 sacks and 30.5 tackles for a loss. He explodes off the line of scrimmage, and at 6-foot-3, 253 pounds has the size to potentially thrive in any defensive front as an edge pass rusher.
