He had 15 sacks on the year and was able to get his hands on an interception that was tipped up into the air that he was able to haul in. Lee is unstoppable at times, never giving up on plays and attacking the ball carrier in space. He is able to close the distance quickly bringing backs down before they can get anything going. He will look to make a statement this upcoming season and pop onto some scouts radar being a player to know.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1361191"],"_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-67b4c4f9700fb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Giampietro is an end that has a knack for playing in the backfield and creating pressure on the QB. He is able to disrupt the offenses rhythm and bring the QB down for a sack having 10 total on the year. He is quick and can avoid blocks to make plays or use that speed to set the edge and make the ball carrier bounce the ball back into where his help is. I think he has a chance to take a big leap this year and should be a player hitting the camp circuit hard being a stock watch player to know with his skill set. He will turn a lot of heads this upcoming season and will be a player on a lot of scouts radar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1621166"],"_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-67b4c4f970143"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Weston has a quick get off at his size being able to create chaos at the line of scrimmage and getting into the backfield to bring the ball carrier down for a TFL. He has some strength and is able to collapse the gap and disrupting the running game. In pass rush he is able to get off of blocks quickly to bring the QB down for a sack or when he is not able to get pressure is able to bat the ball down at the line of scrimmage. He is a player that has some eyes on him and will be a player to know moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1369340"],"_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-67b4c4f970187"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jones is able to get off of blocks quickly, using his strength and speed to get hands off, collapsing the gap and causing the ball carrier to bounce. He does show the ability to chase the ball carrier down, rallying to the football and showing good hustle to get in on plays. He can get into the backfield and put pressure on the QB causing hurry ups as well. He is a player that will look to hit some camps this offseason to pop onto the radar and should be able to turn some heads.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1316494"],"_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-67b4c4f9701c9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brock is a dawg when he gets going being able to blow up running lanes and bring the ball carrier down in a hurry. He is good at taking on double teams, keeping his leverage and slipping through to get to the ball carrier. Brock is good at setting the edge and has some moves in his arsenal to shed blocks showing his speed. He finished the year with 67 total tackles with 3.5 sacks. He will be looking to take a jump next season, as he will be on of the top returning defensive lineman for his team and will be trying to make a statement early as one of the top in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
