The tweet says he is now up to 285. An under the radar signing with upside? Similar to Cornwash? He got a 3 year 1.5M dollar contract so they must see some upside. Anyone heard anything else on this rook? Looks interesting.

NFL.COM Analysis:
ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Eye-catching frame that looks like it belongs to an NFL player. Long armed with intriguing athleticism. Flashes excellent twitch in his get-off when stunting and can be very disruptive against the run. Had 45 percent of his tackles come within two yards or less of the line of scrimmage. Has play strength to play through a blocker's edge once he gets to the gap. Outstanding change of direction talent serves him well against both run and boot-action passes. Works his way off of blocks with spin move or aggressive club shed. Has tools to be a much more impactful pass rusher. Named team captain in 2015. Showed growth and maturity as person and player over last two seasons.
WEAKNESSES Career production didn't match his athleticism. Pad level needs work. Plays too upright at times limiting his natural burst, power and athleticism. Not a natural pass rusher yet. Feet get sluggish as rusher once first contact is made. Needs to get better at seeing and playing through pass blocker rather than being involved with so much hand fighting. Hand usage needs improvement. Instincts for the game can be hit or miss. Scouts worry that he might be a high-rep player who will need additional time and work.
DRAFT PROJECTION Round 5
NFL COMPARISON Jason Jones
BOTTOM LINE Robertson-Harris will step onto the field at his first NFL camp looking like a dude. He has the desired length, power and athleticism to play on the edge and it will be interesting to see if teams view him as a defensive end or a standup player. If Robertson-Harris can get coached up to improve his hands and pass-rush talent, he has the athleticism and talent to become an NFL starter rather than just an athlete with occasional flashes on tape.
