29. Eli Harold, OLB (Virginia)
Harold is a really good football player. He has the prototypical size and length to be a dominant outside linebacker in a 3-4 defense. He is a complete football player who is not just an excellent pass rusher but a dominant force against the run.
Harold has a long 6-3 frame and is a very solid 247 pounds. He is explosive off the edge but he has the strength to win anyway he wants against offensive tackles. Harold has a high football IQ and is a sensational tackler.
Harold is the master of winning at the line of scrimmage with leverage. He attacks off the edge like a hawk swooping down to get a poor rabbit. Harold had 36.5 tackles for a loss and 17.5 sacks in three seasons at Virginia.
Harold is a solid football player who uses good technique and incredible athletic ability to make plays for the defense. He is a superstar in the waiting.
