Hard-hitting Penn State safety with NFL-caliber physical traits
Chris Harrell was a physical, downhill safety for Penn State in the 2005 season, posting 88 tackles and earning honorable mention All-Big Ten honors after returning from a neck injury that cost him the 2004 season. His appeal was straightforward: he played with toughness, had starter-level experience, and showed enough versatility and reliability to anchor the back end. The injury history is the main caution flag, but when healthy he brought the kind of edge and presence teams love in a safety.
