2006 Utah vs. BYU. Beck to Harline on the goal line fade for a touchdown while being smothered by future pro bowl safety Weddle.

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

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

Harline was a GREAT receiver. Impossible to guard at the goaline fade. But he

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

Harline couldn’t block anywhere close to the level pitta could

but what a receiver he was. Who doesn't remember that vid of him pulling away...

He had amazing speed but not enough for just a NFL wr

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.

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.

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

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.
