2027 Preview: Playmakers, Protectors, and a Promising Arm

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We're heading to the 2027 offensive side of the ball today to highlight some guys who have upside at their positions and should take on a bigger role this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1709540"],"_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-687551eb8ba8a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Williams is a guy I like a lot for the outside because of his length and the way he plays strong. He isn't afraid of contact and knows how to work himself open, which shows up on tape over and over. He's reliable over the middle of the field and doesn't shy away from tough catches. Last year he had 29 catches for 325 yards and 1 TD, and I think those numbers will keep climbing as he gets more comfortable. From what I see, he's the type of receiver who can be a steady target and move the chains when you need it most.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1709501"],"_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-68754aae36b08"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Thompson is an interesting prospect to me because of his natural tools. He's got good length at 6'2" with long arms, and that frame alone makes him stand out. He has a good vertical and can make one-handed grabs look easy, which tells me he's got strong hands and solid timing. His body control is impressive, and he doesn't fight the ball when adjusting mid-air. I think he's just scratching the surface of what he can be. He has the traits to be a real mismatch problem on the outside if he keeps developing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1709545"],"_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-687551eb8bb0d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Graves is a fun player to watch because of how versatile he is. He can line up inside or outside and has elite speed and twitch that make him a constant threat. He changes direction as well as anyone I've seen and plays smooth, never looking rushed or off balance. His field awareness is impressive, and he's already shown it with a few toe-touch catches that stand out on tape. I think with his skill set, he's the type of guy who can create problems for any defense and make an impact wherever you line him up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1613923"],"_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-687551eb8bb51"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Moskalik is a player I like on the inside because of how steady and reliable he looks on tape. He's nimble and can get on the move if needed, which is a big plus for interior guys. He plays with a solid base and has good core strength, so he stays balanced and doesn't get moved off his spot easily. I notice he stays engaged and finishes plays, showing he understands leverage and how to use his frame. I think he's the kind of guy who quietly controls the line and makes a big impact without needing the spotlight.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1709542"],"_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-687551eb8bb91"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tewell is an interesting QB to me because the talent is there. He got reps in 3 games last year, and I think he just needs to trust his work and preparation to take off. He's got a good arm and can place the ball where he needs to, which is something you can't teach. His awareness in the pocket stands out, too. He doesn't panic and knows how to move to keep plays alive. I believe that once he settles in and builds confidence, he has the tools to lead an offense effectively.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
