Excellent distributor that rips it on intermediate passes.&nbsp; Has touch on the deep ball particularly on the sideline.&nbsp; RPO game will be one of his biggest strengths going forward as an athletic QB.&nbsp; There might be some concerns with his size, but we believe he can be an impact QB at the next level.&nbsp; He does tell us that he will be playing some defensive back this upcoming season showing versatility.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1598810"],"_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-68261d950493f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Shanklin was a back up for the Flyers this year that got alot of time with blowout wins.&nbsp; Shanklin is a legit P4 QB with size and strength.&nbsp; Excellent footwork and pocket presence as a passer.&nbsp; Strong arm that he can deliver to all three levels.&nbsp; Touch on the deep ball.&nbsp; Takes what the defense gives him and distributes it quickly with consistent accuracy.&nbsp; Zip on intermediate routes. Like what he brings as a runner with his physicality.&nbsp; Also is a place kicker for the Flyers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["607399"],"_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-68261d95049a9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brady has excellent size at 6'4" 200 pounds.  Big and physical signal caller that has a beautiful deep ball.  Hits his back foot and lets it fly. Drops ball right in the bucket. Good on intermediate routes.  At times he kind of guides it, but when he lets it rip he is really good.  Like him as a runner especially in goal line and short yardage situations on designed plays.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["403899"],"_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-68261d9504a0d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hasquin was a back up QB for most of the year, but when we saw him in their preseason scrimmage it was obvious he was the best long term prospect.&nbsp; Also plays linebacker and brings that mentality to the QB position.&nbsp; Strong and stocky 6'2" signal caller that is a physical runner that is good in RPO situations.&nbsp; Like the arm strength on quick routes banging it in before the DB can make a play.&nbsp; Good pocket presence and has a nice combination of arm strength and touch on the deep ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
