Only two clips are really available for him with a lot of reps on defense. That being said, even on the defensive side of the ball, you can see that Bennett is athletic at 28i3-pounds and has good quick feet and good balance.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["894896"],"_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":"Bishop does not have any updated tape unfortunately. That being said, another prospect to put into your notes to check back in on later, especially with his 6-foot-4 frame.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["895010"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"The 6-foot-4, 319-pound Jones has great strength with a 425 pound squat and 655 pound deadlift. He also has a 220 bench and 200 pound clean in his personal records. Not a ton of game film available for him, however. By his testing numbers, his athleticism is somewhat limited with a 6.5 forty-yard dish and a 4.6 shuttle. That being said, the size and strength here is promising. Again, another prospect to put in your notebook to check back in on perhaps next fall.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["895722"],"_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":"Unfortunately no game tape is available but Krason is absolutely worth mentioning thanks to his tremendous size at 6-foot-7 and 340-pound. We haven't been able to watch him in person so we're not sure of his athleticism and mobility just yet.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-660b4f4bda1e5"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1137048"],"_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":"Our lone tight end on the list, Mortakis is only 6-foot-1 and 195-pounds so wide receiver may be his ultimate landing spot if he plays at the next level. That being said, Mortakis has a quality highlight tape around just two minutes. He's a solid athlete and appears to have both good upper and lower body strength. Also shows upside on the defensive side of the ball where he plays defensive end though linebacker would be a more suitable role in our opinion at the collegiate level.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-660b4f4bda275"} /-->
