New England Patriots rookie review: S Duron Harmon | masslive.com

I really like what I saw out of Harmon last season. He has good instincts that will only continue to improve with experience and we saw a burst on the ball that the Pats have lacked in recent seasons. He also has long arms and has sound tackling technique.

The issue as I see it is that he’s probably a best fit in more of a free safety role as opposed to being in the box. The same might be said for Steve Gregory, but I think if you swap Gregory for a little more size and keep McCourty and Harmon as your back-end guys in three safety groupings, that’s a good core.
