Draft Scouting Report

Pro Comparison: Dane Jackson

Summary

Jermari Harris is an older cornerback prospect with explosive lower-body suddenness, solid but unspectacular length and high-level ball instincts in zone coverage. His quick processing and reactive athleticism make him a playmaker, and his lightning-fast feet allow him to close in an instant. He reads quarterbacks and route concepts well, pairing sharp awareness with the body control to make plays from difficult angles.

However, his aggressive nature leaves him vulnerable to double moves, and he can lose phase by flipping his head too early. His recovery speed is adequate, but he gets grabby when trailing. As a tackler, his willingness is there, but his technique is inconsistent, leading to frequent whiffs.

For a team seeking a smart, sudden and instinctive zone corner with playmaking upside, Harris is a mid-round option, though his tackling and occasional over-aggressiveness remain concerns.
