Track narrative may have been a bit overblown (by one particular doom and gloomer poster here). For sure he loves both and wants to participate in both, but he's a football guy.
Time will tell.

He has dreams of sprinting in the Olympics. If this is truly the case, that takes a lot of time & devotion & there'll be plenty of folks in his ears warning him of the injury dangers football presents.

Fact is, he could be both. He has proven he can run at 230. A 6’5”, 230lbs with top end speed could be a huge mismatch on the perimeter. Playing out there will afford him to put on a little more muscle but still maintain a similar playing weight.

If he can catch and jump, he could be a game changer.

Fast enough to get separation, big enough to get the 50/50 balls. But he could end up an edge rusher.

Getting up there with a Rogers or a Clowney will take a little work and a good supporting cast.

Can see that. On paper he has the potential to be excellent out there with added strength. But if he truly wants to be a track guy and the staff honors his wishes, not sure he could add enough bulk to fight blocks and still be able to run track.

Size isn't a problem for him. Frye noted that Harbor is already faster than Carl Lewis at the same age.

Besides, Beamer has already spoken on the role he wants Harbor to play. Nothing to speculate about there.

If he really wants to be a # 1 overall NFL pick, he should play Defensive End, and it is such a need for us, and his elite athleticism would be so impactful their.

What position is most frequently picked No. 1?​

Quarterback is the most common position for No. 1 overall picks. A whopping 34 quarterbacks were taken first in the draft.

Beyond quarterback, the second most frequent position picked is, surprisingly, running back. Twenty-three running backs have been the first pick, but it hasn’t happened since Ki-Jana Carter in 1995 and likely won’t happen again as the position has been devalued.

Here’s a full breakdown by position:

  • Quarterback: 34
  • Running back: 23
  • Defensive linemen: 16
  • Offensive linemen: 6
  • Wide receivers/tight ends: 5
  • Linebackers: 5
  • Defensive backs: 1
