Most of the time, Harold would just kind of be able to run into the left tackle and become stuck on his block in passing plays. He could have completed in a 4.9 for me as far as I'm concerned considering how rarely was he able to win with the speed rush. What's to be gained from being a great athlete but you're not going make use of your skills to College Football 25 Coins rush the passer occasionally?

That was quite gruelling to watch.

I kinda hate the fact that I was able to see Harold perform a few good moves at times because then I wondered why he didn't use them every time. If he'd had them, he could have had a bunch more sacks. He didn't, which is most likely why the team "only" was able to accumulate about 7.5 bags in the season. That's not a bad one, but it isn't a great one either.

It could have helped should he not missed so many tackles. He also missed some sacks. For the Louisville game, which was one game in which he had two sacks, the dude did not even miss three other tackles. One was a sack opportunity. The dude was supposed to be a good athlete but even when it's clear that he won't perform the task?

This is worrying.

I've not even got around to discussing Harold's inconsistency at the line. I'll admit that every time he would come from behind, jacked up the blocker and was able to make the play. The majority of the time, however, he was either struck in the back or was manhandled.

There's nothing to be happy about.

Harold has also given his edge to a running back on running plays way too often during those five games. It doesn't make sense. I know he's a little too light on the inside but his blocking could be more effective at an up-level. He is going to have to find a way solve that issue in no time. A little more weight, a few squats, and better technique would be my suggestion, but for today, I'm imagining Harold trying to get the advantage to College Football 25 level offensive tackles and tight ends isn't a pleasant sight.

In all fairness, there were moments when Harold was able to make some spectacular play against the run. The thing is I kind of expect that from top guys. It's not doing it only once or twice that amazes me. It's doing it consistently with play after play after game that get me fired up. Harold showed flashes in every match against pass and against the run. However, you may also see a play during those five games in which he appeared to be an ordinary player.

This isn't a good thing.

The good thing the good news for Eli Harold is all of the issues I've experienced that he has are fixable. Eli Harold already has some decent move to pass rush that he can make them more effective. He has proven that his ability to do a great job against the runner; he just needs to focus on becoming better and more consistent in his approach. As he gets bigger and stronger in College Football 25. that could help him in both of these areas. He's definitely athletic enough to play as an outside linebacker on a 3-4 but he's also suitable defensive end so his scheme adaptability will benefit him.

The negative is that he's not yet ready to make the team right now and may not be ready until a year or two. It's going to take a while for him to gain the weight and strength that he'll require to become a great player in the College Football 25. It'll take some time to master his technique improved and to be more consistent. In the end, he's likely be a great player however, the team that will be taking him on will need to be patient.

It sounds great, but most teams don't pick a non-quarterback high in the draft unless they expect him to be playing immediately. I am aware that "everyone" is in need of edge rushers and that there could be an early rush in the first round however I'd still be hesitant to take Harold such a high. Hell, I might be hesitant to take him in the second round, to be sincere with you. There is a lot to complete, and if it's on a team that needs urgent help from a rusher I'm not sure that Harold is the right choice. I really wanted to CFB 25 Coins like Harold as an individual player but I can't believe it.
