"We wee him more in space, on the perimeter, more in a receiver type role."

Teams will have to use double coverage on him most of the time, hopefully leaving others guys wide open.
If that's the case our WR room is a lot more interesting now. We haven't had that bigger body WR to go up and get it in a while. Don't sleep on 6-3.5 Joshua Simon as well. I think that kid is going to be a good one. We've got a good mix of size now. Wells, Brown, Harbor, Knox, Simon, DK, Lewis. I'd say we can do some damage there.
I really like having big wide receivers. I remember a few years back when Missouri had four or five wideouts who were 6' 3" or taller. I think they won the East that year. Wells is listed at 6' 1" but plays taller. At least on paper our WR group is really strong.
I don't know how physical of a player Harbor is. Line Harbor up in the slot in a Kyle Pitts type of role and create mismatches with linebackers covering him, and then slip him outside to create size advantages on CB's. This is an exciting problem to have.....trying to decide where to utilize him.
He's so freakishly athletic, he played all over the field in high school. Here he will get more dedicated time at one position.
