Continue ReadingKyne fires out with excellent explosiveness and leverage and is able to reset the line of scrimmage in the run game against bigger tackles, getting low and walking them back to stuff plays in the run game. Able to hold the point of attack and discard when needed; anchor is much better than his size would suggest. He maintains discipline on the backside and outside leverage when run at. Consistent arm extension and strong hand placement allows him to control opponents and find/scrape toward the ball.
Highlights
Tucker bends a smooth arc when turning the corner. Shoulder dip and ankle flexibility are both very good. Threatens outside and then uses his strength and leg drive to walk back blockers and collapse the pocket, occasionally jolting tackles with a straight-arm. Can get linemen to overcommit to the outside, then shed and attack the inside shoulder. Very good contact balance to stay on course and can work his way through chip blocks.
Turner sets a pretty hard edge. He’s able to lock out opposing linemen with his length. Lower-body strength allows him to anchor at the line. Does a good job of locating the football. Has strong hands to discard blockers. Stays home and maintains run fits when working on the backside.
Highlights
Watkins plays with a consistent motor and sense of urgency. Quick reaction times and impressive get-off often let him run right past an opposing tackle from his wider alignments. He’s a good overall athlete with plenty of speed and smooth change-of-direction. He’s able to dip his shoulder and bend a smooth arc, with impressive flexibility in his ankles.
