No. 5 - Brandon Harris, THE U(niversity of Miami)
I would love to put Harris higher up on this list. As a Ravens fan, it's hard not to love every great prospect that comes out of "The U" when you've seen the likes of Ray Lewis, Ed Reed and Willis McGahee prosper in the NFL.
But unfortunately, the only the thing that will really hinder Harris' ability to excel in the NFL is his height. At 5'9" he is by far the shortest of the cornerbacks on this list. However, he shows almost no character flaws, and is one of the hardest working young men among any prospects in the draft.
Harris shows top-end speed, running a 4.45-40 at the NFL combine. He shows above average ball skills but only snagged one interception. Though most elite cornerbacks have a lower interception total because the ball doesn't come their way, Harris had eight pass deflections last season which could show a questionable use of hands.
If he was 6'1" Harris skyrockets up the draft, but unfortunately, he's not likely to keep growing this late in life.
