Thanks.  Just looked at his numbers, over 18 yards a punt return and two TDs.  Just what we need.

Pos:
Tough, nasty small-school linebacker who may also get consideration at fullback. Instinctive, quick to read and diagnose and a dominant run defender. Breaks down well, effectively uses his hands and defeats blocks on his way to the ball carrier. Plays faster than his 40 time, shows a closing burst and drives through tackles. Displays terrific short-area quickness, easily changes direction and moves well laterally. Remains disciplined with coverage assignments.
Neg:
Short and overmatched by tight ends in coverage. Lacks great pursuit speed. Slow getting back to balance off the initial hit.
Analysis:
Harris is a natural football player who seems to enjoy contact and is always working to get involved in the action. He’ll offer possibilities at inside linebacker in a 3-4 alignment or possibly as a lead blocker, but more than anything else Harris could make a roster this September as a special-teams demon.

Xavier Coleman
Cornerback

Bio:
Three-year starter who has earned All-Big Sky honors twice -- as a junior and senior -- as well as Honorable Mention All-Big Sky in 2014. Was awarded with Portland State's title of Most Outstanding Defensive Back after his sophomore season. Finished his career with 152 tackles, nine interceptions and one forced fumble.
Pos:
Nice-sized small school cornerback best facing the action. Instinctive, displays a good degree of awareness and plays physical football. Stays with assignments, works to get off blocks and make plays up the field on the ball carrier. Nicely extends or adjusts to defend the pass.
Neg:
Quick out of his backpedal and slow flipping his hips in transition. Not a strong open-field tackler. Poor hands for the interception.
Analysis:
Coleman possesses the computer numbers and ball skills to line up as a ninth defensive back in a zone system but is a prospect who must prove his worth on special teams.

Xavier Coleman:
STRENGTHS Intelligent, focused and and resilient. Missed two and a half years of high school football due to a heart condition. Won two state basketball titles as a starting point guard and finished first team all-state in track before making his way back on the field after open-heart surgery cleared the way for his return. Concedes nothing when the ball is in the air. Tracks the ball well and finds optimal position to crowd receiver and prepare to play the ball. Explosive 40-inch vertical jumper. Shows good route anticipation and looks to play in front of the route breaks. Excellent communication with teammates calling out route development from zone coverage. Plays with urgency in his man coverage and looks to close-out any route separation as quickly as possible.
WEAKNESSES Fluidity of feet in man coverage is just average. Can be knocked off the route by clever route runners with quickness. Hips are a little sticky in his transitions from press and will pop upright before triggering. Is a little delayed in opening to chase an inside release. Shows some panic when routes cross his face and will grab receivers around the waist to corral them rather than relying on technique and feet. Will occasionally lose contain in run support. Too slow to punch and shed against blocking receivers. Tackling fundamentals are below average. Too many arm tackles and not enough face up, wrap-up strikes.
DRAFT PROJECTION PFA
BOTTOM LINE Coleman plays with great urgency in his coverage and has a history of ball production when he's challenged. Coleman has adequate height and speed for the perimeter but could struggle to maintain man coverage against NFL quickness and speed. He has the awareness and ball skills to play zone, but will need a much more consistent approach as a tackler.

An OL sighting. Minicamp invite:

did they sign him?
