He is another impressive wide receiver who can play both the X and Z efficiently. Heard is a threat after the catch due to solid COD, lateral quickness, and a burst to get upfield.

He can exploit defenses through the air and on the ground. He displays good pocket mobility, contact balance and improvising skills to evade pressure and create with his legs. Teff showcased solid ball placement at all levels of the field. I expect him to continue his development and become a solid quarterback for Har-Ber. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Note – 4.0 GPA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/TownsendTeff/status/1960534361591439471","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/TownsendTeff/status/1960534361591439471 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
