No burst to him. He takes up space, but he's one of the slowest DTs from that class

This is inaccurate. His strength is a problem, but his speed is above average. He did very well in the shuttle work and cone drills. And if you're looking at 40 time, God help you.

The reason he was an UDFA is because he's a prototype for a 3-4 NT but he lacks the strength. The reason no team that ran a 4-3 really was hot after him is because of his weight trouble. He should probably play at around 330-335, which should make him even more agile.

If you want to knock the guy, knock him for what he really is.... which is an athletic but soft 3-4 nose. If we can get him in the room and take off that baby fat then he could very well be a future starter. He has the ability.

I'm not sure where you got your info, but Harvey himself wasn't impressed by his 20yard shuttle, but you're right, he is weak. 19 reps on the bench press. less than some CBs

Don't fall victim to workout numbers. If QB's took 40 yard snaps, then the 40 might be useful for linemen to work on. His playing speed and his measured speed are two different animals.
