This is another example of how scientific sports have become. Numbers are gathered and placed into a "how toi grade a football player" program. We saw HB 40 number. Not too good. As fans we said, yes if was slow but he is sooo good. Pro GMs  look at only the numbers. HB will get drafted. Then he will need to earn a spot. This is a different  level. Slipping out of the third round should not be shocking.

Below are some of the most productive college QB's of all time.  MOST were not drafted high (if at all).  Production in college football doesn't equal pro potential.

I think Harrison will have a good pro career and am obviously rooting for him.  But I agree with you, there are some glaring holes in his athleticism and how it will translate to the pro level.

Going to have to prove himself.  The Browns...

Eric Crouch (Nebraska): 33-5 record in three seasons as starter, 121.1 QB rating, 90 total TDs, one Big 12 title, 2001 Heisman Trophy winner

Cleveland is FAU North!

Harrison Bryant will join former FAU DL Brandin Bryant in the Rock and Roll Capital of the World. Greg Joseph, Trevon Coley, and Adarius Taylor are also some former Owls who played for the Browns at some point.

KILLER B's FOR THE BROWNS!

Harrison Bryant (@hbryant17) is joining fellow former @FAU_Football Owl Brandin Bryant (@El_Sacko2) in Cleveland.

Maybe I’m wrong. But I don’t like Cleveland. From the staph infections years ago to still not having been in the playoffs in forever. Maybe having a good qb in mayfield will help I guess 

Let me give you a little help. It doesn't matter if you like the Brown's. Thi s is noiw his profession. As lo g as the check clears on the 15th and  30th. He just needs to do hos job. It takes a little while to figure out it is now a profession . It is sports entertainment. I'm so proud of Harrison  to have excelled to the point where he can make money at it. Very few people are that good. Can't wait to watch what he can do at the next level. Way to go harrison!!!!!

That's it. No dice for James Pierre and the other Owls hoping to hear their names called in the NFL Draft.

BUT…. we SHOULD be confirming a move from Pierre soon.

From Paradise to the Steel City! James Pierre has signed an UFA contact with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Congrats to @FAU_Football CB James Pierre (@TuneLight1) on signing an UFA contact the @Steelers.

Pierre will join fellow former Owl Kerrith Whyte Jr in the Steel City.#OwlsUP, James! Go make #FAU #OwlNation PROUD! 👌😎👌 pic.twitter.com/h5P63Cke4P

I know he's not involved in this draft class, but former FAU safety Andrew Soroh has just signed a contract with defending Super Bowl champions Kansas City Chiefs

Soroh was a star for the XFL's New York Guardians earlier this year.

How AWESOME is this!? Brandon Walton signs with the Buffalo Bills, reuniting with Motor Singletary!
