His quick feet and vision allow him to have home-run ability. . He is also a master of deception, manipulating defenders at will by using his change of speed and understanding of leverage. This allows him to draw defenders out of position opening up huge cutback lanes, which we see over and over on his tape.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"DJ Butler","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Davidson High School ","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003culu003ern tu003cliu003eVision at the line of scrimmageu003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003ePowerful runneru003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eNorth/south runneru003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eTop-end speedu003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eLeverage manipulationu003c/liu003ernu003c/ulu003ernWith his size, you would expect him to be a slower back, but that is not the case. Butler has home-run speed, making him a threat to break a big play on every touch. As more of a strider, he can still to full speed instantly, and have impressive lateral movement. He makes up for this by understanding leverage points and manipulating defenders out of position. He also has good upper-body bend around corners and transitions great from east/west to north/south — where he is at his best.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["243256"],"_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":"Flowers is a dynamic dual-threat who is also accurate. He throws the ball with excellent precision and ball placement. Using natural loft and timing, Flowers fits his passes into tight windows and is able to beat good coverage by being supremely accurate. Flowers is an instinctive quarterback and leads his receivers for more yards after the catch. Along with throwing receivers open, Flowers puts nice loft on his passes and is able to offer his wideouts a very catchable ball. Flowers also has the arm strength to fire some lasers into tiny windows. It is fun watching Flowers making defenders look silly.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"P.J.

Within this is creativity and vision to find cut-back lanes in all levels of the field. He has also shown the ability to sidestep defenders in the open field and force missed tackles with nimble footwork. He pairs this with good balance and center gravity to stay upright even when he gets his upper body in front of his feet.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["744121"],"_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":"McConathy demonstrates a good rush plan and an ability to get off of blocks. He has a quick first-step off the ball and gets upfield faster than many offensive tackles are prepared for. Once upfield, McConathy uses active hands to slap away linemen. He showcased an impressive rip move in the Theodore game that allowed him to gain leverage on offensive tackles and shed their blocks. McConathy features functional upper body strength that helps him scrap with blockers and keep them from sustaining blocks or get a good hold of him. McConathy competes in run defense and makes an effort to chase down ball-carriers out of his gap. He is best in pursuit and plays physical football.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6511d4735a4a0"} /-->
