Creates separation on short and intermediate routes.  Has a knack for finding the weak spots in the defense and sitting down in them over the middle.  Gets in and out of breaks with ease.  Solid blocker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1344621"],"_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-686ecea2da2ac"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnson is coming off a breakout sophomore campaign.  The Belleville East wide receiver has a big frame and long arms at 6'3" 180 pounds.  Smooth route runner, snatches the ball out of the air, and really knows how to use his body to out position defenders.  Very good on in breaking slants and bubble screens.  Tough to bring down with the ball as he is a physical runner.  Willing blocker that has the size to be impactful in that area.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1700137"],"_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-686ecea2da2f4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rose is a big framed and long armed 6'0" 217 pound wide receiver from Cahokia.  Redzone threat and slant routes are two areas he excels.  Best as a big bodied possession pass catcher on short and intermediate routes.  Snatches it with his hands.  Solid route runner and adjusts to it in the air.  Physical runner with ball.  Excellent blocker that takes pride in it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1690206"],"_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-686ecea2da34f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Collins is a 5'7" thin pass catcher.  The slot wide receiver wins off the line vs both press and off with his blazing speed.  Tracks the deep ball well in the air.  Effective on short routes making catches and then doing damage with his shake and burst.  Also is a punt return threat.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
