Brandon Harris, DeMarcus Van Dyke worked out for Rod Woodson today

University of Miami cornerbacks Brandon Harris and DeMarcus Van Dyke worked out for the Oakland Raiders secondary coach Rod Woodson today.

Woodson also auditioned Ryan Hill and Jared Campbell at the Miami campus in Coral Gables, Fla. 

Harris and Van Dyke had dinner tonight with a Cleveland Browns secondary coach and are working out for the AFC North club Friday.'

Harris visited the St. Louis Rams on Wednesday and concluded his visit Thursday morning.

He has previously worked out for the Atlanta Falcons, Denver Broncos and the Miami Dolphins.

Harris is regarded as a late first-round, early second-round draft target.

He struggled in the Hurricanes' bowl game against Notre Dame wide receiver Michael Floyd, but otherwise had a strong season.

As a sophomore, he ranked second in the nation and led the Atlantic Coast Conference with 15 pass deflections and was named first-team all-conference. He was a Jim Thorpe Award semifinalist with 52 tackles, six tackles for losses and two interceptions.

As a freshman, Harris ran track as he competed in the 60 meters, 400 meters and 4x400-meter relay.

He finished with 132 career tackles, nine tackles for losses, four interceptions, five forced fumbles, two sacks and 28 pass deflections.

Van Dyke conducted a private workout for the Baltimore Ravens a few weeks ago.

And Van Dyke has visited the Philadelphia Eagles.

He previously worked out for the Broncos, Falcons and Dolphins.

Van Dyke ran the 40-yard dash between 4.25 and 4.28 seconds at the NFL scouting combine.

He also posted a 33 1/2 inch vertical leap, a 10-1 broad jump and a 6.97 in the three-cone drill.

He's regarded as a late-round draft target.

In 50 games, he started 21 games and recorded 80 tackles, three interceptions and 10 pass deflections.

He also ran track for the Hurricanes.

He started three games last season.

At the combine, he posted the third-fastest time in the past decade.

An angular 174 pounds, the 6-foot defensive back ran the fastest time since Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson (4.24, 2008) and Oakland Raiders cornerback Stanford Routt (4.27, 2005).

Van Dyke's lack of ideal size and strength are a concern, but his speed is rare.

He bench pressed 225 pounds five times at the combine.
