Jake Hanson is a six-foot-four, 304-pound prospect from the Oregon Ducks that everyone sees as a mid-round prospect. While that’s a very attractive option for anyone looking to anchor their offensive line with some youthful talent, the 5.5-second 40-yard dash that he ran at the most recent NFL Scouting Combine might turn a team like Philly off after they’ve gotten used to seeing an athletic center like Jason Kelce run downfield and throw a few blocks for the last nine seasons.
For that reason, former Washington Huskies standout Nick Harris finds his way onto the list. He’s a little shorter than Hanson at six-foot-one, but he carries his 302-pound frame with a little more ease. He ran a 5.1-second 40 in Indy.
Add that to a 29.5-inch vertical and a 103-inch showing in the broad jump, and you have one of the more athletic centers in the upcoming selection meeting (if Philly is interested).
