First we will review offensive and defensive prospects that shined during the combine, athletes who appear physically ready to play college football, and conclude with positional breakdowns of the talent on-hand. These breakdowns are only from my subjective on-site observations. They do not take into consideration film, highlights, or anything else.
Incase you missed any event coverage, here are the articles currently published related to the AVC Mega Football Camp:
The lone representative from Pennsylvania to make today’s list, Hester-Bey did a great job showcasing his abilities and a lot of what he can do for Pocono Mountain West. When he was lined up out wide at receiver, he showed an uncanny ability to avoid contact and thwart jam attempts at the LOS. I saw Hester-Bey beat his defender with a swim move to gain an immediate advantage upon his release. He also has a stutter step and two-arm swipe in his arsenal to win at the line.
With as much talent as Weequahic has on their roster it is easy for their players to get lost in the sauce at times – especially since there is only one ball to go around. Considering this, Motley did his damndest to shine at the camp. Whether he was lined up as a back or split out wide, Motley demonstrated extremely crips, sharp cuts both when running routes and when evading a would-be tackler. This shiftiness allowed him to create space as his routes developed due to how clean his patterns were ran; and when he finally had the ball in his hands he was a routine user of the juke move.
Lewis is an interesting prospect that I think could open some eyes and turn a few heads this season. Lewis excelled in the pro agility (4.37 seconds) and ran a more-than-respectable 4.53 second 40-yard dash. Speed and agility aside, Lewis seemed like a solid deep vertical threat. On more than a handful of occasions I watched Lewis make simply great adjustments to the ball in flight. He possesses the ability to locate the ball while it is in the air, change his trajectory, and make a difficult play with a slim margin for error look easy.
Pasols looked like one of the more refined route runners in attendance. With an ability to escape a boxing match in a phone booth with his 4.22 second pro agility, Pasols did a great job on out-breaking routes. With many reps and many spins, his QB pairing on the day did not always deliver an accurate or on-time ball, but Pasols was always in position secure a grab with space to spare. When his QB did hit him, that sharp out-breaking route turned into a big gainer with how he stopped on a dime and got north-south in a hurry.
