He's a competent DB who is confident and can survive on an island by himself. He was very productive making 40 tackles, picking off 5 balls while returning 2 for TDs. He has great vision and timing, which makes him so dangerous when the ball is in the air.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1227235"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-668d56147ba37"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Breaking onto the Varsity level last season and making an impact was Randolph, the upcoming DB with the potential to play in the slot. He's shifty, has great change of direction, and can turn and run with the best of them. He's got fantastic short area movement which is why I think he could be so good in the slot. Where he doesn't have the length, he has the athleticism to counter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1327569"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-668d56147baaa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Vandergriff is a DB who still has his best ball ahead of him. He's well-built for a DB and has great length. If he puts weight on and hammers the weight room, there's a chance he could move to the 2nd level. While I imagine he prefers the 3rd level, having an LB with the range and length Vandergriff has always made such an impact. Either way, Vandergriff is a competent player with a good head on his shoulders. He's versatile, moves around, and makes tackles when they come his way. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1327578"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-668d56147bafc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Thomas just broke onto the Varsity scene last year and looked good. His speed allows him to stay on just about any receiver he comes across. While he's not the tallest DB, he's fairly scrappy and has no issue playing aggressively. Making contact and playing through contact is big, and Thomas seems to get better as the game goes on. 18 tackles, 1 interception, and his first forced fumble all came last year, but expect much more this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
