Around SBN: Dog Football! Which Breeds Are Best Suited For The Gridiron?

Sleeper of the week series. NT

Well, As promised, I've searched around the world wide web to hopefully pull a late round gem from the depths of obscurity. I'm strickly looking for guys that fit our teams perceived need of depth at various positions. I'd have to say, Finding a run stuffing, gap clogging behemoth, that can take on two blockers would certainly be well received here. I have little info on this guy, but what little i've read appeals to me.

Star-divide

Hailing from the Baltimore, MD region, and a two way starter in high school, where he was a first team All-Metro recipiant, He certainly had the goods to play BCS Football.....But here's our guy:

Lonnie Harvey, Morgan St, 6'3" 345lbs.    Nose Tackle

http://www.morganstatebears.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=1273&path=foot

This is his post high school first team all metro review:

http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/highschool/bal-sp.ofoot17dec17,0,3712821.story

Incredibly agile for his size, the four-year starter became motivated to raise his level of play after postseason clashes his sophomore and senior seasons with Hereford's Joe Akers, the standard by which many area lineman measure themselves.

A 6-foot-3, 305-pounder with muscular legs and a burly upper torso, Harvey's play was crucial to the success of the Red Storm's passing and rushing games. Harvey's footwork kept opposing linemen off balance and led to numerous pancake blocks.

Defensively, Harvey registered 103 tackles, 16 sacks, 11 forced fumbles and four fumbles recovered against Baltimore City rivals. He is considering schools such as West Virginia, Virginia Tech, North Carolina State, Boston College and Marshall.

He goes on to play at Morgan St.

I discovered this guy on http://www.DraftDaddy.com

Fomer Morgan State star Lonnie Harvey is a potential sleeper prospect, who has private workouts setup with the Carolina Panthers and Indianapolis Colts. He is about 6'4", 345 pounds and teams in need of defensive tackle depth could you utilize his services as a 3-4 nose or 4-3 defensive tackle (1 or 3 technique). Right now we have Harvey slotted as a solid free agent type prospect, but great workouts, coupled with a high demand (and lack of supply) for 3-4 nose tackle prospects, could slide him into the latter part of the 2009 draft.

Hey....Usually I'd dig a little deeper on guys like this, and get some info, hopefully he makes it to a Pro Day somewhere, as he's doing his private workouts for other teams ...I see him as a semi-priority type URFA signing to take a look at. Here is some very limited flm I can find on the guy, Look for #53 DT :

Sounds good.

Would’ve rather heard that he has a private workout w/ the Boys but that doesn’t mean that we aren’t looking

Yeah...I'm not suprised...I never seem to hear about Dallas scouts at any of these private workouts or Pro Days.....

Hopefully they read reports from elsewhere…..I’m not saying this guy is NFL ready, he just has that 345lbs. we can always work with on the practice squad..

lol...

I doubt he is NFL ready but maybe down the line…i would go after him with a UDFA

Here's another possible

Brandon Setzer

08/27/08 – The Pirates also lost starting DT Brandon Setzer for the season with a knee injury suffered in fall camp.
 
05/28/08 – SPRING MOVERS: DL Brandon Setzer — Setzer had a strong month of practice on the defensive line, capped off with an eye-opening performance in the spring game. The senior was cited by the coaching staff as someone who was taking his game to a higher level, which bodes well for his status in September.

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Setzer is for real. Talking about him on this blog is the LAST thing we should do. send Jerry an email, but stop posting about him…please.

In fact, the minute you get called a “sleeper” is the very minute you are no longer a sleeper. Quite the conundrum, eh?
