Weaknesses:
Hart has made dramatic improvements since his junior year, but he is far from a finished product. One noticeable issue with Hart is his short area quickness in man coverage. This can be somewhat attributed to having long legs, but this is mainly due to issues reading receiver movements in these situations.
Though he is aggressive in man coverage, Hart is prone to grabbing while shadowing receivers vertically, which often leads to holding penalties. On outside releases, Hart is somewhat slow to process, making him vulnerable to getting beaten. Though there has been some improvement in this aspect, it is still an area that requires more work.
