Harline and Pitta

Pitta had much better size and strength. Better NFL body.

3/30/20 12:28pm

Pitta was also faster. Harline ran awesome routes and was great in college

Harline was battling an injury that torpedoed his pro day numbers...

What would he have tested without the injury?

Harline was deceptively fast. I don't know if he ever got caught from behind.

If we're talking straight line speed I might give the edge to Harline. But Pitta

I believe Harline had a pretty bad Achilles injury during training camp that

We need to get back to that play. Just bread and butter.

Harline was a better pure receiver TE, IMO, but Pitta was more complete. Also Harline was derailed by injury.

Yup injury really derailed his pro chances

He burned Eric Weddle and We all know how good

Yup. Amazing receiver.

One of the best, most athletic plays in BYU football history.

Harline reminded me of a poor mans Gordon Hudson...

Harline, Hudson, and Chris Smith are 3 of BYU's best receiving TEs, and each

Pitta was an incredible route runner and was a master at creating separation

And Itula Mili could have had a fantastic NFL career if he hadn’t been injured

Pitta had a better NFL body. Too bad his hip gave him problems.

3/30/20 2:16pm

Weren't they both 6'4 240-245?

3/30/20 4:06pm

Daniel Coats played with Harline, played in the NFL. Now a forgotten Cougar.

Harline only did 15 bench press reps at the combine. Very weak for a tight end.

Nope. I'm right there with you.
