Throughout OTAs and minicamp, Miami Dolphins rookie defensive end Charles Harris impressed coaches and his fellow players on several occasions. Despite players not being in pads during the spring, Harris was consistently pressuring the quarterback.

While many have been impressed with Harris early on, Draft Wire editor Luke Easterling listed him as the biggest reach among edge defenders that entered the 2017 NFL Draft. In an interview with Dolphins Wire, Easterling said Harris’ inconsistent play was a concern for him.

“He was a Day 2 guy for me, mostly because I like to see consistency over rare flashes,” Easterling said. “On his best plays, it’s easy to see why he was probably a first-round guy on most teams’ boards. He’s explosive off the ball and has that wicked spin move. He just needs to bring it at the same level on every snap. He should be able to make an immediate impact as a rotational guy on passing downs.”

In his final season at Missouri, Harris recorded 61 tackles, nine sacks, 12 tackles for loss, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. Easterling wasn’t the only person that had questions about Harris’ lack of consistency — Lance Zierlein of NFL.com also said the defensive end played slowly at times.

With veteran defensive ends Cameron Wake and Andre Branch expected to start, the team can choose to bring Harris along slowly and use him as a situational pass rusher early on. At least so far, Harris has not demonstrated any of the inconsistencies Easterling or Zierlein were concerned about.
