Standout D-backs from the AVC Mega Football Camp, Part I

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our event coverage of Fairleigh Dickinson University Head Football Coach&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/CoachAVC_FDU">Anthony Van Curen</a>‘s AVC Mega Football Camp continues. 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.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Incase you missed any event coverage, here are the articles currently published related to the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.avcsportscamps.com/">AVC Mega Football Camp:</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/06/scout-notebook-immediate-reaction-to-the-avc-mega-football-camp/">Scout Notebook: Immediate Reaction to the AVC Mega Football Camp</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/06/avc-mega-football-camp-middle-school-combine-warriors/">AVC Mega Football Camp: Middle School Combine Warriors</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/06/avc-mega-football-camp-quarterback-combine-warriors/">AVC Mega Football Camp: Quarterback Combine Warriors</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/06/avc-mega-football-camp-running-back-combine-warriors/">AVC Mega Football Camp: Running Back Combine Warriors</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/06/avc-mega-football-camp-wide-receiver-combine-warriors/">AVC Mega Football Camp: Wide Receiver Combine Warriors</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/06/avc-mega-football-camp-tight-end-combine-warriors/">AVC Mega Football Camp: Tight End Combine Warriors</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/06/avc-mega-football-camp-offensive-line-combine-warriors/">AVC Mega Football Camp: Offensive Line Combine Warriors</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/07/avc-mega-football-camp-interior-defensive-line-combine-warriors/">AVC Mega Football Camp: Interior Defensive Line Combine Warriors</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/06/avc-mega-football-camp-defensive-edge-combine-warriors/">AVC Mega Football Camp: Defensive Edge Combine Warriors</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/06/avc-mega-football-camp-linebacker-combine-warriors/">AVC Mega Football Camp: Linebacker Combine Warriors</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/06/avc-mega-football-camp-defensive-back-combine-warriors/">AVC Mega Football Camp: Defensive Back Combine Warriors</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/07/offensive-player-eye-test-prospects-from-avc-mega-football-camp/">Offensive Player Eye Test – Prospects from AVC Mega Football Camp</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/07/defensive-player-eye-test-prospects-from-avc-mega-football-camp/">Defensive Player Eye Test – Prospects from AVC Mega Football Camp</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/07/standout-d-backs-from-the-avc-mega-football-camp-part-i/">Standout D-backs from the AVC Mega Football Camp, Part I</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["172832"],"_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":"u003cspan data-sheets-value=u0022{u0026quot;1u0026quot;:2,u0026quot;2u0026quot;:u0026quot;Good COD for $, great sizeu0026quot;}u0022 data-sheets-userformat=u0022{u0026quot;2u0026quot;:515,u0026quot;3u0026quot;:{u0026quot;1u0026quot;:0},u0026quot;4u0026quot;:{u0026quot;1u0026quot;:2,u0026quot;2u0026quot;:16711680},u0026quot;12u0026quot;:0}u0022u003eJones, a prolific quarterback and recent Monmouth commit, stood out to be as a defensive back as well. The same shiftiness and hip mobility he demonstrates as a runner out of the backfield was in full effect as a safety too. Jones gets to his drops quickly and can open up his hips and run. What stood out about this was how he could weave, open and flip his hips, and then play over the top with ease. Further, he has college-ready size as a defensive back, officially measuring 5'10u0022 and just under 190lbs.  u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64b5fb3138ab4"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["379632"],"_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":"u003cspan data-sheets-value=u0022{u0026quot;1u0026quot;:2,u0026quot;2u0026quot;:u0026quot;very fast in and out of cuts/breaksu0026quot;}u0022 data-sheets-userformat=u0022{u0026quot;2u0026quot;:513,u0026quot;3u0026quot;:{u0026quot;1u0026quot;:0},u0026quot;12u0026quot;:0}u0022u003eBarone was another prospect that possessed natural fluidity. A bit lighter a defensive back at about 150lbs, this translated to him running extremely well as he kept up with every matchup I witnessed. Similarly, he has the height to contend and contest with any matchup. Lastly, Barone looked as sharp as a razor's edge coming in-and-out of his cuts and breaks when driving on the ball.rnu003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64b5fb3138b33"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["378554"],"_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":"About a month ago Chavis had announced his commitment to Temple University. After finally getting my own eyes on him in person it was as clear as day why he is an FBS-caliber talent. Aside from having the requisite size, athleticism, and speed to succeed at that level, he has a competitive edge and motor that permeates through his game. Awfully aggressive, Chavis does an outstanding job of jamming receivers at the LOS. Unlike many in this type of camp setting, he showed an internal awareness to get hands-off his matchup to avoid what would be called a penalty in the game. I realize I already spoke to his athleticism, but it is worth noting once more that he runs like the wind and sticks to receivers stride-for-stride downfield.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64b5fb3138b92"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["910487"],"_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":"A perennial playoff contender, Bailey represented for his hometown Clifton Mustangs. One of the smaller defensive backs on today's evaluation, he came up big in big spots, with big stops, and made big plays. The word u0022scrappyu0022 was what I had written down next to #178 - which is the operative word to describe Bailey's game. I was impressed with his feet. Bailey has great foot speed and also clean feet - not getting crossed, tied, or mixed up - which allowed him to never been too far out of position against his opponent and in position to drive on the ball.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64b5fb3138beb"} /-->
