Anthony Harris (6-foot-1, 190 pounds), Virginia

Anthony Harris has the height, body and ball hawking skills to be a turnover threat in the NFL. In 2013, he led the nation in interceptions with eight. He also had 80 tackles and six passes broken up.

In 2014, he had two interceptions, but he had 108 tackles and 10 passes broken up.

Harris has the ability to play either free or strong safety at the NFL level. He can also play cornerback.

Harris has good instincts to diagnose a play well, and has the physical attributes to play the run. When he plays near the line of scrimmage, he attacks the gaps with aggression.

While Harris is a reliable open field tackler, he will need to add some weight to be successful at the higher level. He also needs to improve the angles he takes in pursuit.

Harris is projected to go in the third or fourth round. The Bears need to generate turnovers again, and Harris could help.
