Unicorn athletes are pretty fool proof, and Harbor might be one of the 3 biggest unicorns the program has ever landed.

Clearly Valentine is the BIGGEST unicorn we ever landed.

It's been said recently that Nyckoles hates getting hit so TE is definitely out.

He could easily play WR, which is what most of the elite TEs are, basically.

Gilbert is the perfect TE below the neck.

Harbor isn’t as much of a football player, but he’s such a freak it just doesn’t matter. He’s like a Calvin Johnson physically. Now, Megatron was also a world class pass catcher and Harbor isn’t that

Gilbert was near perfect as a receiving TE prospect. Harbor is an Olympic level freak of nature but isn’t as polished of a tight end.

I think a better comparison is DK Metcalf

He's a super freak athlete but not good at the technical aspects of being a WR. Doesn't matter. Can still dominate the NFL running 2-3 routes.

That's why I said if he doesn't want to block at TE (and our coaches are going to demand that), then play him at WR.

I honestly don't think so but that definitely didn't guarantee success as we all see now.

I’m not sure how good his hands are, but Nyckoles Harbor is a tight end with Olympic level speed. He may not be a better TE prospect, but his ceiling is infinitely higher.

I'd love to see Harbor at 255-260 coming off the edge, would be an absolute freak. I think due to his track career that may not happen though.
