He is a big body possession receiver who wins contested catches. He measures in at 6'4 185 pounds. Last season, he had 18 receptions for 345 yards and 4 touchdowns. Since Legend is going more into the pass game direction, Marchand will have plenty of opportunities to showcase his game. He has very good athletic ability due to very good jumping, acceleration, change of direction, and good speed. He has very good release at the line of scrimmage against both press jam and off coverage. Uses his physicality against the DB. Good separation quickness. Even with his size, he's a fluid route runner. Very good ball tracking and catching. One thing about Marchand, is he consistently comes down with the contested catch. Very good body adjustment and control. After the catch, he isn't afraid of trucking defenders. I'm very excited to see how he does in this new offense !</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1330926"],"_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-6888fab81f055"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mangrum consistently makes big plays wherever he slots in on the field. The ATH plays RB, QB and SS. Last season, he accounted for 171 carries for 1404 yards and 15 touchdowns, 32/59 for 551 yards, 8 TDS, 4 INT, with a 54.2% completion rate. On the defensive side, he had 20 total tackles (8 solo, 12 assisted), 1 TFL, 1 INT, 2 PD, and 1 FF. He has very good athletic ability due to very good change of direction, acceleration, speed, and balance. Mangrum is an elusive back who weaves through the defense. Uses his very good vision to find a route. If one gap is covered, he uses his dynamic cuts to maneuver into the open one. He consistently gets yards after contact, bounces off defenders and shows off his very good balance. He has a good stiff arm as well, and has home run speed. There's a reason why he's ranked so highly, and the tape proves that.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1225519"],"_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-6888fab81f0a1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Romo is a fantastic corner! Romo has very good size for a DB at 6'1 175 pounds. Last season, he accounted for 24 total tackles (11 solo, 13 assisted), 1 TFL, 1 FF, 2 FR, and 1 pass deflection. He has very good athletic ability due to very good jumping, acceleration, speed, and good change of direction. Romo is physical at the line of scrimmage, jamming up the WR. Good back pedal and quick feet to excel in man coverage. Very good closing quickness. Very good man and zone coverage skills. It's rare to see a corner do well in the run game, but Romo does that. He has good tackling, and very good in run support. Good block shedding. Romo has very good read and reaction speed. He trusts what he sees, and attacks. Very good strength, tossing around receivers very easily. Very good mental processing as well. He has good timing to swat the ball away from the WR, or will try to create fumbles by punching it. He's an all around fantastic player, and deserves WAY more looks from colleges than what he is currently getting.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["557706"],"_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-6888fab81f0ea"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Heimlicher first came on my radar when he won MVP during one of our combine events. Measures in at 6'3 218 pounds, and is a monster in the trenches. Very good athletic ability due to very good acceleration ,speed, lateral agility, and good jumping. Colton has a very good initial quickness out of his stance. He goes into a low pad level engaging with the OL first. Very good hand strength and hand placement to control his opponent. Heimlicher demonstrates very good strength at the point of attack, and drives the OL backwards. He's a good block shedding with good get off speed. Also productive in the pass rush with his powerful bull rush. One thing of note about Heimlicher is his relentless pursuit. He doesn't give up until the play is finished or his opponent is in his grasp. Keep an eye on him going into this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["347218"],"_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-6888fab81f130"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fella is an underrated prospect, but man can he play. Measures in at 5'10 205 pounds. He has very good athletic ability due to very good change of direction, lateral agility, speed, good acceleration and jumping. Pine Creek uses his athletic ability to prowl the field, whether as a QB spy, rushing the QB, or out in a zone. He has the athletic ability to cover tight ends out in space. Very good mental processing and reaction time. He watches the QB's eyes, and attacks. If it's a run play, he stuffs the gap and shows off his very good tackling and run support ability. He also will try to punch the ball out of the offensive player's hands. Fella has a relentless pursuit and very good competitive toughness. He doesn't give until the play is finished. Keep an eye on this young Fella.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
