He didn't deal with injuries as a junior. You might think that from the stats, but he played every game but one and still had only 14 catches. Truth is, he had one very productive season where he was better than a guy on his team who was a 2nd round pick in the draft that year (and has been disappointing in the NFL), but it was in 2010 and he was poor-to-average for the rest of his college career. Also, a substantial amount of his production in 2010 (like, a third) came from that absurd Rutgers -Cincinnati game with like 1300 total yards of offense.
The fact that he trashed the room at the combine had very little to do with it - DeAndre Hopkins was involved as well and his stock actually rose post-combine.
He has bad hands and doesn't play to his speed. Here's a pre-draft writeup from a Rutgers fan on him
(in the same post, this guy talked about how he loves Ryan, Harmon, and Beauharnais)
He does seem like a character guy though.
Look, it'll be great if Harrison works out. But he probably won't. You can quote all the combine stats in the world - there was a reason he went undrafted. Then again, he's not exactly competing with worldbeaters as a WR (or even TE) on this squad right now.

WR Mark Harrison: He's actually the guy who made me want to make this post. Our very own Shane P Hallam and ATL tweeted about Mark. His measurements are off the charts. Monster dude, strong, decent speed. Just somehow ALWAYS seems to create separation. I actually never understood it. As ATL put today, he's a YAC monster. However, I will tell you right now, I've cursed out Mark Harrison more than any non-QB player. I can't tell you how many WIDE open drops he'll have on streak routes. I'm talking easy 6. I'm talking OH MY GOD NOVA THREW A GOOD BALL TO THE RIGHT TEAM AND MARK ******* HARRISON HOW THE **** DID YOU DROP THAT YOU **** HEAD. like. really really really bad. And always the worst time. Most frustrating player ever because of his flashes and how good he SHOULD and COULD be, but the drops and disappearing from games (which could be Nova being the worst ever ever) just make him maddening. Could get drafted, 7th round maybe. I just...I don't know man. So frustrating.

“I’ll take a win sitting on the bench on Saturday,” Harrison said. “I really don’t care about individual numbers. I consider myself a team guy and I know what this game means to all of us. That’s all that matters.”
