Temple’s Harrison Hand is a prospect who fits that bill. Coming off of a season in which he tallied a team-leading three interceptions and five pass deflections, he is looking to carry on his success as he prepares to play at the next level. Draft Wire recently spoke exclusively with Hand about his competitive mindset, his preparations for the draft, his NFL bloodline, and what he brings to the table as a potential draft pick. JI: One of the calling cards in your skill set is your physicality. What does a defensive back have to do to obtain that physical edge? HH: To be honest, it’s really a mindset and wanting to be aggressive. There’s a lot of corners that don’t really like contact, but I say it’s really just gaining the strength and the mindset of being strong and really wanting to overcome the opponent by strength: show them that you’re the top dog.
