Scout calls Marcus Harris a 'True sleeper'

Marcus Harris has had a great season and NFL personnel are noticing it.

Auburn has had a few players step up this season but arguably, Marcus Harris is the most underrated strength of the Auburn defense this season.

The NFL Draft will be paying close attention to Harris after this season as he has done enough to earn draftable grades based on his play so far this season.

Jim Nagy, the executive director of the Senior Bowl, tweeted out some praise about Harris before the game against LSU.

"There aren’t many true sleepers this far into (College Football) season but (Auburn) DT Marcus Harris probably qualifies since we haven’t seen his name on here at all," Nagy tweeted. "Former Kansas transfer grew on @seniorbowl staff during tape study with his instincts & activity. We had two of his Park Crossing HS (Ala.) teammates in last year’s game—Patriots QB (Malik Cunningham) & Packers WR (Grant Dubose)."

Harris has been solid this season and has been able to push the pocket from the interior defensive line as well as from the defensive end position. Harris will also offer experience on special teams for whichever NFL team invests in him this offseason.

Has has 12 tackles on the season and 2.5 sacks. He's also forced a fumble.

The Senior Bowl takes place in Mobile, Alabama every offseason as the unofficial start to the NFL Draft season.
