These are some playmakers that I feel are on the verge of a breakout season and will be turning heads during the season. These are the prospects scouts will need to add to their radar right now as they are primed to have a great year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1430680"],"_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-683611bb6b88d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Crisler is an explosive receiver with elite body control and a knack for making acrobatic catches. He excels at adjusting to the ball mid air and consistently wins contested catches, thanks to his impressive catch radius. His route running is sharp and crisp, often setting up defenders before using his burst to gain separation. With strong hands and a natural ability to create big plays, Crisler is primed for a breakout season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1550868"],"_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-683611bb6b8fa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Despite limited action, Echelmeier made an immediate impact, recording four touchdowns in just five games. He has a strong feel for the game, showing the ability to get behind defenses and come down with tough grabs. His run after catch ability and quick acceleration make him a dangerous weapon in space. With more reps this season, Echelmeier is poised to take a significant step forward and emerge as a top target.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1538203"],"_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-683611bb6b95b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">At 6'7”, Kelley is a matchup nightmare, particularly in the red zone. His basketball background is evident in his ability to box out defensive backs and high point the football, resembling a power forward snagging rebounds. Kelley had five receiving touchdowns last season and even added a rushing score on a 29 yard run, showcasing his versatility. Expect his production to rise sharply this season as scouts take notice.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1631963"],"_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-683611bb6b9af"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Villeneuve is a fearless, physical receiver who thrives across the middle and doesn't shy away from contact. He's a reliable redzone target with a large catch radius and excels in scramble situations, often working into open space to help his quarterback. His vertical speed stretches defenses, and he also provides value as a gadget player capable of carrying the ball. Villeneuve is a gritty, all purpose weapon ready for a breakout year and should be a player that joins the 1,000 yard club.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1631957"],"_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-683611bb6b9f6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kelley is a dynamic, multi positional athlete with a physical edge. As a running back, he shows vision and toughness, often dragging defenders for extra yards. As a receiver, he's capable of explosive plays downfield and is a serious threat after the catch. Whether lining up in the backfield or out wide, Kelley's versatility makes him difficult to game plan for. He is a player that is on track to have 1,000-yard season and with his skill set it is within reach for him as a playmaker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
