It’s always fun to look back at my old NFL Draft reports, even those from one year ago. Let’s see how I did with some of my reports from past years. The No. 1 player in the 2016 Harris 100 was current Texans LT Laremy Tunsil.
“The class of the 2016 NFL Draft class…playing the most important position, outside of QB, he’s a bona fide left tackle and I’ve thought that since his first start as a true freshman in 2013…exactly what an NFL LT looks like…missed half of the 2015 season after being suspended due to an NCAA inquiry…had a season-ending injury in 2014 Peach Bowl the year prior…plays with great knee bend…powerful base…quick and explosive in all of his movements…great lateral quickness…technique-sound…seemingly never gets rattled…doesn’t crossover his feet”

He showed up for the bench press on Friday at the Combine wearing Ugg slides…then threw up 21 reps of 225-lb.
