He has a major frame and a major arm to match. The FBS-sized prospect showed elite arm strength. I noted that one of his passes sliced through the air roughly 45 yards downfield on a rope. If this is not raw arm strength at the high school level, I am not sure what is. Additionally, Davis showed that he has the ability to place the ball where wherever he wanted at times. He did a nice job leading his receivers and even connected on a back shoulder throw or two. Davis had mostly clean footwork, while possessing command and poise in the pocket.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-646e55e9c4efc"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["377194"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Bontorno was another quarterback with top-tier size to marvel at. Because of the amount of mustard on his passes, many intended receivers had a hard time handling them as they came in hot. Bontorno seemed like a sponge out there too. He closely monitored the reps of all the other quarterbacks - to seemingly learn by observing - and was in frequent dialogue between his position coaches and paired receiver as he strived to improve with each and every spin he took. Bontorno also did a nice job of hitting his target in stride on the deep post or vertical.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-646e55e9c4fb3"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["450891"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Two things that jumped out to me about Pinto were both related to his arm strength. The New Yorker threw total bullets all over the field. Whether it was short, intermediate, or deep routes, he was letting it rip. However, the one pattern he appeared most adept at throwing was the out route. He threw it with confidence as he cast a rope anticipating where his receiver would be u003cemu003ebefore u003c/emu003ehe snapped off his route. From there, the ball was often in perfect position for the receiver to catch it in a full-speed stride and turn up field for YAC.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-646e55e9c5054"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["805695"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"After the PSR Showcase, there were two things I realized about Monsignor Farrell Football. First, there is going to be healthy quarterback competition and; second, they will have great quarterback play for at least the next two seasons. Pushing rising junior teammate [player_tooltip player_id='450891' first='Cristian' last='Pinto'] is rising sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='805695' first='Ryan' last='Walsh']. Wash was very crisp in all his throws. He is ahead of the curve in terms of delivering the ball u003cemu003eaheadu003c/emu003e of his receiver. He anticipates when they are going to break off of their route and ensures that the ball arrives as soon as they turn and look for it.

Despite being a bit smaller in stature and build, Smith lacks nothing in terms of arm strength and can air it out with the best of 'em. If there was any doubt about it, Smith did his damnedest to silence any doubters at the showcase. He put on a clinic with the deep ball, constantly either connecting or putting the ball in a place only where his guy could win when running verticals. With double moves, flags, and corners I saw Smith anticipate the top of the route in advance and place the ball in a position where only his receiver could pay the ball u003cemu003eand also u003c/emu003eplant and get up field.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-646e55e9c518f"} /-->
