Alright, so I wanted to share how I went about looking into Tre Harris before the draft this year. It wasn’t anything super formal, just me kinda digging around, you know?
It started pretty randomly. I was watching some college football highlights, just bouncing around clips online. Saw a catch that made me rewind. It was this guy, Tre Harris. Hadn’t heard much about him before that, honestly. So, I thought, okay, let’s see what this dude’s about.
My First Steps
First thing I did was just search his name plus ‘highlights’. Watched a bunch of those plays. You get a feel for the flashy stuff that way. He definitely had some big moments, those downfield catches looked smooth.
But highlights only show you the good stuff, right? So next, I tried finding some actual game footage. Not easy sometimes, but I managed to pull up parts of a couple of games he played in last season. Just wanted to see him play-to-play, not just the touchdowns.
What I Started Noticing
Watching the full plays, here’s what jumped out at me:
- Hands looked solid: Seemed like if the ball was near him, he’d usually snag it. Less drops than I expected maybe.
- Got downfield: He wasn’t just catching short stuff. They definitely used him to stretch the field.
- Route running?: This was harder for me to judge, not being an expert. Looked okay? But sometimes maybe not the sharpest cuts? Hard to say for sure just watching TV footage.
I also pulled up his basic stats. Numbers looked pretty decent, especially considering where he played. Production was there, which is always a good sign.
Hearing the Buzz
Then I started seeing his name pop up more in draft talks online. Some folks were high on him, others thought he was more of a mid-round guy. It’s always interesting to see the different takes. I wasn’t really swayed either way, just kept my own observations in mind.
Honestly, I didn’t get too deep into the analytics stuff. I mostly just relied on watching him play and looking at the basic production. Felt more real to me that way, forming my own idea instead of just reading someone else’s scouting report.
Draft Day Thoughts
Come draft time, I was curious where he’d end up. Didn’t have a specific prediction, but I figured someone would take a shot based on the flashes I saw. When his name got called, I just thought, “Okay, makes sense. Let’s see how he does at the next level.”
So yeah, that was my little journey following the Tre Harris draft situation. Just a regular fan trying to figure out a player by watching some tape and seeing what felt right. Always fun to track these guys from college to the pros.
