Watchdog Offensive Weapons Class '27

<p>There are some dogs on the offensive side of the football in the class of 2027. We call them dogs because they are underrated, and they are looking to make more noise this season.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span style="text-decoration: underline">WR's</span></h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">Young receiver that has a lot of potential, especially when getting deep down the field. By all means, the straight natural athleticism to travel deep down the field. Based on the given tape that was present, Archer was able to be a threat in streak routes and had a lengthy wingspan that was evident. Henceforth, he will be looking to have a huge year to produce more on tape.</p>     <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Liverpool Boys Varsity Vs.

To add, he is a receiver that runs fluid routes and works back to the football at a high level. There is an impressive ability to create separation from defenders after the catch is made. That natural ability to travel down the field with a high amount of quickness and acceleration was clear. Undoubtedly Gannon can work as an X and a Y receiver with aggression. Not afraid to high-point the football and has a true nose for the end zone.</p>      <p class="text-gray-700">Physical receiver that has an ability to redirect his body with good control, especially on curls and comeback routes. Simultaneously, there is a quick niche ability after the catch to pick up YAC. Additionally, he is not afraid to use a stiff arm in open space on a defender. Utilization of bubble and quick screens to get Cassidy in open space was a large part of his game. Good speed and acceleration after his release.</p>     <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span style="text-decoration: underline">TE:</span></h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">A TE that can be a sneaky threat in the receiving aspect. Goepfert did display the ability in his route tree, including good wheel routes in the red area. In like manner, he will get up and high-point the football to make contested catches. Continuing to develop in being that security blanket in third and medium situations will be critical in his development moving forward.</p>     <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span style="text-decoration: underline">ATH's</span></h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1257837' first='Owen' last='Kicinski'] is a pass-catching WR/RB that can be utilized at the receiver position at a high rate because of his pass-catching ability. He did have a high quality of reps out wide, more than at RB on film. Moreover, the hand-eye coordination did show over the top on DB's. From time to time, he will make toe-tapping grabs on the sideline when the ball is thrown in certain spots. Even so, he does possess an ability to make defenders miss in space. </p>     <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Thank you to <a href="https://twitter.com/NFLJMal2?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NFLJMal2</a> for the great experience to showcase my talent in Michigan <a href="https://twitter.com/LegacyMI_FBall?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@LegacyMI_FBall</a> .

[player_tooltip player_id='1639419' first='Gabriel' last='Ausfeld'] did possess the ability to make throws deep and over the shoulder for receivers. He did make short, quick throws as well. Likewise, he was able to get on the move in the read option with his speed and acceleration in open space. Additionally, Ausfeld can play at the FS position, playing centerfield and in the box. Can come downhill to make tackles on receivers. </p>     <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Weighted dips<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/grind?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#grind</a> <a href="https://t.co/9hpY1SqeMT">pic.twitter.com/9hpY1SqeMT</a></p>— [player_tooltip player_id='1639419' first='Gabriel' last='Ausfeld'] (@gabrielausfeld) <a href="https://twitter.com/gabrielausfeld/status/1879322010754712060?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 15, 2025</a></blockquote>    <p class="text-gray-700">A rugged football player in Jonah Beaudoin that has a lot of physicality in both the DB and RB position. The ability to pursue quick screens and ball carriers to then make clean tackles in space would show. To add, he is not afraid to hit or make contact and will deliver for his team. Presently, this is an RB that has the speed to get to the outside gaps and can be used as a pass catching back. Moving Beaudoin around with his acceleration paid dividends for his offense. </p>
