Blazing Trails II: WRs Reaching New Heights @ the Showcase

The wide receivers continued to show out during the showcase. As I stated before, I needed multiple articles to do them their due diligence. Let's dive into the analysis of some of these stellar performances.    Mozer is a fantastic freshmen wide receiver. He has very good athletic ability due to very good speed, acceleration, jumping, and change of direction. Mozer caught my eye by consistently catching everything thrown his way. If the ball was thrown low, he'd put both hands under the ball and cradle it. Very good catching. Strong hands. He used his very good jumping skills and very good ball tracking to come down with contested catches. I love how he uses physicality in his game to get an advantage on the defensive back. Watch out for this freshman!   HT: 6'0.5 WT: 138.6 Wing Span: 72 ½” 40: 4.65 Shuttle: 4.47 Broad Jump: 9 L-drill: 7     The MVP of the wide receivers and he is only a freshman! He has very good athletic ability due to his very good change of direction, acceleration, speed and jumping. Throughout the drills he was making eye popping catches. Using his very good catching to pluck the ball out of the air, a lot of the times right in front of the defensive backs. Very good ball tracking skills and concentration as well. He used his good release at the line of scrimmage to combat the press jam and off coverage. This kid has a bright future ahead of him!   HT: 5'7 WT: 154.1 Wing Span: 67” 40: 4.78 Shuttle: 4.47 Broad Jump: 9 L-drill: 7     Esparza's very quick feet and shiftiness made him stand out amongst the receivers. Having the 2nd fastest shuttle time amongst wide receivers, Esparza had a great performance during the drills. He has good athletic ability due to very good change of direction, jumping, good speed and acceleration. Esparza has good release at the line of scrimmage due to his very quick feet. His ability to beat the press jam was fantastic. He made some DBs miss with his elusiveness out in the open space. Paired with his good ball tracking and catching, makes him a formidable opponent.   HT: 5'8 WT: 142.2 Wing Span: 68” 40: 4.88 Shuttle: 4.35 Broad Jump: 8'11 L-drill: 7     Poirot had a nice outing at the Stock up Showcase. He has good athletic ability due to good speed, acceleration, jumping, and change of direction. Poirot's coachability really stood out to me during the individual drills. He was attentive and receptive to the coaching. Poirot had a good job during the drills against wide receivers. He used his quick cuts to create separation between himself and the DB. Good catching as he kept plucking the ball out of the air and securing it. Looking forward to seeing more of what the sophomore can do!   HT: 5'7 WT: 162.1 Wing Span: 67” 40: 5.26 Shuttle: 4.60 Broad Jump: 8 L-drill: 8     Mckenzie is an exciting young prospect who is fresh off a championship win with Cherry Creek. He has very good athletic ability due to elite acceleration, very good speed, jumping, and change of direction. He was making big plays all throughout camp. Mckenzie has a unique ability to stop and pivot on a dime. Decelerates and accelerates while making it seamless. At one point during the 1 on 1, he used his very good catching and suction hands to pluck the ball out of the air. Very good release against both press jam and off coverage. Very good separation quickness due to his physicality and athletic ability. Keep watching Mckenzie closely, as I believe has a breakout season on the horizon.   HT: 5'11 WT: 165.4 Wing Span: 71” 40: 4.69 Shuttle: 4.44 Broad Jump: 9 L-drill: 8     Garcia had a good performance at the showcase. He used his good athletic ability to make plays throughout the drills. He has very good change of direction, good acceleration, speed and jumping. Garcia's very quick feet allowed him to excel against the scrappy defensive backs. He killed it against the press jam. Good release. Good separation quickness due to his athletic ability and mental processing. He looked for an open pocket and found it. Garcia has good ball tracking and good catching. I was impressed with his competitive toughness. If he got beat on one play, he came back the next and dominated.   HT: 5'9 WT: 164.2 Wing Span: 69” 40: 4.81 Shuttle: 4.39 Broad Jump: 8'2 L-drill: 7     Wacker led all wide receivers in the shuttle. I was impressed with Wacker's performance throughout the showcase. Wacker has good athletic ability due to his very good change of direction, good speed, acceleration and jumping. Wacker has very good release whether off coverage or the press jam. The DBs were physical all day, and Wacker stood up to the task. Using his physicality to gain an advantage during the route. The senior has very good ball tracking skills, and was consistently making catches all day. He has good catching, and suction hands. A reliable target during the drills. Great job by the senior boosting his stock for the colleges.   HT: 5'10 WT: 179 Wing Span: 70” 40: 4.72 Shuttle: 4.25 Broad Jump: 8'8 L-drill: 7     Korby was making big plays during the 1 on 1 drills. He thrived against contested catches using his very good jumping and ball tracking skills. He has good body control and adjustments needed. Korby has a very good release and was consistently getting the jump on the DBs What impressed me was how Korby kept getting open. Very good separation quickness due to his athletic ability and mental processing. He kept finding open spots in the mess with multiple QBs and WRs throwing. He has good speed, acceleration, very good jumping and change of direction. He should have some colleges looking his way.   HT: 5'11.5 WT: 171.5 Wing Span: 71 ½” 40: 4.75 Shuttle: 4.50 Broad Jump: 8'10 L-drill: 7
