When asked yesterday which teams he had met with: Bills, Chiefs, Falcons, and Redskins.

The only test that Harmon and the rest of the Wide Receivers had to do yesterday was the Bench Press, and his 18 reps of 225 pounds ranked 8th in the WR Group.

Today Harmon and the rest of the wide receivers will be tested in the 40-yard dash, vertical jump, broad jump, 3 cone drill, 20-yard shuttle, and 60-yard shuttle.
