Broncos Undrafted Rookie Spotlight: Ahmari Harvey looks to add depth in secondary

Harvey played in 43 games with the Yellow Jackets, recording four interceptions in his college career.

The biggest knock on him coming to the professional level is going to be his size. Big, physical wide receivers are going to be able to take advantage of that, which could force the Broncos to move him inside to the nickelback spot. It will also be questionable how effective he can be against the run.

When players lack physical traits, they often make up for them in the mental game. Harvey is a smart, instinctive player who, despite being small, is not afraid to stick his head down and make a tackle or do his best to be physical.

He will have a lot to prove at the next level and will need to show the team that he can be sticky in coverage and make tackles, or at the very least, slow down ball carriers in the open field.

Chances to make 53-man roster (1-10 scale): 2

The Broncos are fairly deep at cornerback with Pat Surtain II, Riley Moss and Ja'Quan McMillian. The team still has last year's first-round pick, Jahdae Barron, and Kris Abrams-Draine, but there could still be room for a developmental cornerback on the back end of this roster.

But Harvey will be starting at the bottom of the ladder, or very close to it. He will need to take advantage of every rep he gets in camp and every snap he gets in the preseason. It wouldn't hurt to add some bulk in the weight room as well.

HOT READ:Broncos' best offseason move has almost been forgotten

With undrafted players, particularly on the defensive side of the ball, making an impression on special teams is all but a must if a player wants to make the 53-man roster. Still, Harvey's likely optimal outcome will be to make the team's practice squad to continue his development into being ready for the professional level.
