From there, he accelerated to gain additional separation over the middle for an easy grab.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1127302"],"_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-675b3af1a6911"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Wingspan: 69.9"<br>Handsize: 10.3"</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1127302' first='Hazmire' last='Jones'] is another prospect who showed very good technique. Out of the slot, Jones ran an awesome zig route that broke the defender's ankles. What caused him to breakdown his matchup was his outstanding ability to sink his hips and lose no speed when doing so and when he subsequently reemerges. Additionally, Jones showed that he can go low for poorly thrown balls. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["918994"],"_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-675b3af1a6959"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Wingspan: 70.9"<br>Hand size: 9.8"</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">If you seek a prospect with size and speed, [player_tooltip player_id='918994' first='Trey' last='McFadden'] ought to be on your recruiting board. That aforementioned speed (4.59 second 40-yard dash) allowed him to create separation for himself, doing so routinely. McFadden showed us that he can use his body to his advantage, winning by taking his preferred alignment. With at least one known offer at-hand already, it will be interesting to see where McFadden ends up and how he is utilized.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["205508"],"_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-675b3af1a699d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Wingspan: 62.5"<br>Hand size: 8.8"</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There are not too many backs that can move like [player_tooltip player_id='205508' first='Luke' last='Gialanella'] can. Smooth like melted butter, he moves better than he typically times when tested. Gialanella absolutely kills linebackers with sharp-cutting routes. That aside, this prospect seems as though he is an outright good football player. Gialanella adjusts to balls thrown behind him and ahead of him with effortlessly, with advance proficiency. With [player_tooltip player_id='344220' first='Tylik' last='Hill'] graduating, it will be awesome to see what Gialanella get more run at Pope John in the fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Offensive Most Valuable Players - Linemen</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1345036"],"_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-675b3af1a69e1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Wingspan: 75"<br>Hand size: 9.4"</strong><br><br>One of the largest prospects in attendance was [player_tooltip player_id='1345036' first='Matthew' last='Benjamin'].
