Stands in pocket vs rush to make the throw. Physical runner on runs up middle and to perimeter. Footwork needs to be refined.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1585262"],"_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-67abc72c4e30b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Oakman is a 6'0" 180 pound lefty signal caller.  Good scrambler and crafty runner overall.  Quick getting the ball out of his hands. Zip on short passes. Kind of like a point guard.  On the deep ball he guides passes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
