His ability to sit back and throw an excellent ball to his receivers is at a high level. He is also an accurate passer.

Kenneff has the skill to be the next good quarterback for Manheim Township. I am excited to see him throw at the showcase and specifically curious to see how his deep ball looks. It should be a good opportunity for him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["913233"],"_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-681d4f58c4f1d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Question I Want Answered: </strong>How high is his ceiling as a quarterback? </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='913233' first='Braddock' last='Ambrose'] had a good year for Central Valley as he played at a high level for them. I am excited to see him throw because I think he has the potential to be a stock riser and move up the quarterback rankings list.
