32. Jaquan Johnson, S, Miami
- Height: 5’11”
- Weight: 190
- Class: Senior
Another ACC safety makes the cut on this big board. Miami’s defense has plenty of guys to watch for the 2019 NFL Draft, but Jaquan Johnson is the best of the bunch right now. Miami used him both near the line of scrimmage as a box safety and in a deep third last season, and expect it to be the same this year. He will likely not see much time in coverage with his style of play. Johnson is a very good tackler at the line of scrimmage and attacks well to make plays in the backfield.
When he plays deep, Johnson finds the ball well and is good defending the catch point. What he can work on is his anticipation on the back end so he can get to more plays downfield, and work on not being too aggressive near the line of scrimmage.
31. Damien Harris, RB, Alabama
- Height: 5’11”
- Weight: 221
- Class: Senior
Damien Harris continues the trend of top running backs that come out from Alabama. Harris brings a lot to the table and has the potential to be one of the best running backs to ever come from the Crimson Tide. Harris is a unique blend of speed and power at the running back position. He is one of the quickest to get to the second level and has good burst for his size. He also runs very well through contact and has great balance as a runner.
The stigma that comes with Alabama running backs may hurt Harris’ value in the draft. Many say that Bama running backs are often overworked while they are in college and then underperform when they reach the NFL. Harris is looking to reverse the trend, and his talent should garner plenty of attention.
