School: Alabama

 

40-yard dash: DNP

Vertical: 34.0”

Broad: 120.0”

Strengths

Big hitter with prototypical size and speed. Very aggressive. Great pursuit and acceleration with the ball-carrier in his sights. Loves to punish opponents. Can play in the box or as a single-high safety. Reads route combinations in zone coverage to put himself in position to make a play on the ball. Has the ability to play man-to-man coverage in the slot. Turns to locate the ball when it’s in the air. Good hands. Gets downhill to blow things up in the backfield. Can time the snap count to get home as a blitzer. Leader in the locker room.

 

Weaknesses

Needs to do a better job controlling his aggressiveness. Has the tendency to go for the big hit rather than wrap up. Crafty route-runners will probably create separation at the next level. Explosiveness and overall athleticism might be average.

 

NFL Comparisons

Kenny Phillips – Adrian Wilson – Clayton Geathers

 

Conclusion

Ronnie Harrison is a big-hitting safety prospect that can also make plays in coverage and take the football away with a strong feel for the game. I think he’s an excellent fallback option on Day 2 for teams that don’t get Minkah Fitzpatrick or Derwin James.
