Quick-footed, slides off defenders, and creates yardage. Easily cuts back against the grain to avoid piles or defenders. Runs hard, doesn't go down without a fight, and breaks arm tackles.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["219342"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Quickly releases off the line of scrimmage, sells routes, and tracks the pass in the air. Adjusts to errant throws, extends his hands, and makes the reception away from his frame. Plays heads-up football, shows good route discipline, and stays with the action. Comes across the middle of the field and easily adjusts to make the reception in stride on crossing patterns. Avera is an outstanding athlete.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["149400"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Hard-working and instinctive linebacker who breaks down well, uses his hands to protect himself, and is very quick.

Patient in the pocket, scans the field, and goes through progressions. Senses the rush and moves outside the pocket to buy time. Avoids defenders and takes off upfield to pick up positive yardage carrying the ball. Possesses a live arm, puts speed on throws, and powers the ball into targets. Easily gets the ball downfield with a flick of his wrist.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["207312"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Delivers a catchable ball. Knows where receivers are on the field, locates the open target, and doesn't have receivers waiting for the ball to arrive. Sells the ball fake, uses all his targets, and spreads passes around.
