Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Watching Chris Harper through out the season he makes tough catches and battles DBs to come up with the ball. Seeing him at the Senior bowl practices he is doing the same thing and would be a great addition to our team. " After transferring to Kansas State with dreams of taking snaps under center, Bill Snyder convinced him of his potential at wide receiver. It was a move that benefited Harper and the entire Wildcat team. Over three years he caught at least 25 passes and averaged over 13 yards/catch each season. Harper truly exploded his senior year, leading the team with 857 yards receiving on 58 catches and three touchdowns (note: with Klein and Hubert in the backfield, K-State’s receivers don’t get many touches inside the red zone). While the Fiesta Bowl didn’t produce a highlight reel for every Wildcat, Harper was a bright spot on the biggest night of the team’s year. He finished the game with 71 yards on eight receptions, and had the Wildcats’ longest reception for 21 yards. Without his presence, K-State would have had a much harder time moving the football. Harper has good though not great size to make it in the NFL, standing at 6’1″ and 228 pounds. It was this size that led a surprisingly effective receiving corps for Kansas State in 2011 in spite of many experts predicting the position to be a big minus for the team (Harper led the team in receiving his junior year as well). Although his 4.46 40 time isn’t going to blow defenders away, it is adequate to find success on the next level. Additionally, he displays impressive body control and is exceptionally coordinated (he was, after all, a four star quarterback recruit out of high school)." http://jugofsnyder.com/2013/01/10/k-state-draft-watch-status-chris-harper/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hater Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I really like Chris Harper, he is a physical receiver & has good hands, he is rated the 22nd WR available & projected to go between the 5th & 6t, his speed is the issue The WR rising on the board is Tavon Austin WV, he runs a 4.39 in the 40 Time, he had 114 rec for for 1,289 yards & 12 touchdowns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
