He did an outstanding job of jamming his matchup at the LOS, disallowing any cheap-and-easy releases. This said, it appeared as if his matchups had one thing in common: they all appeared to be visibly frustrated by him. This pesky nature of Green's is a big intangible as he demonstrated not just physical ability, but the ability to take multiple players out of their games.rnrnu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64b75da1dde91"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["912166"],"_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":"There is more than meets the eye when considering what Sinclair brings to the table.

Not sure if Muhammad read my scouting report, but he certainly got the message. Muhammad looked very smooth on the field, particularly when moving laterally - which he also did extremely quickly.
