At defensive back, he displays solid footwork and fluidity to backpedal quickly while staying balanced with control. Stewart possesses good read-and-react capability, quickly breaking with wide receivers to prevent separation and forcing multiple PBUs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Note – 3.5 GPA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/501_Bryson/status/1933998173304807554","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/501_Bryson/status/1933998173304807554 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Atkins:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1649669"],"_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-689a05170f02a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1649669' first='John' last='Davis'] plays on both sides of the ball as a linebacker and running back.

Post-catch, he showcases good COD and upfield burst to create separation from defenders. Lovelace consistently generates separation both deep downfield and off his breaks. He shows good hand-eye coordination, body control, and ball tracking skills, enabling him to adjust mid-route and successfully track passes over his shoulder.
