To play CB you have to have smarts as well, and Irshead showed it when he jumped routes for INTs. Further, he is a hidden gem, and the acceleration and quick feet to react to balls were factors in man coverage.

Certainly, his ability to play as a multi-tool player as a DB and WR makes him a hidden gem to watch. As a DB, he flashed the zone coverage ability, jumping balls for INTs. Instead of being a dominating deep ball target as a WR, Hill leans on his ability to outmaneuver defenders in the short area. Coupled with his ability to work out of the slot, allowed him to gain crucial short yardage for first downs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/21183266/680259514975fb283195f9ce' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68e5b7ff396ca"} /--> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Please checkout my mid season highlights<a href="https://t.co/paeqWpRlrO">https://t.co/paeqWpRlrO</a><a href="https://twitter.com/PrepRedzoneNY?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PrepRedzoneNY</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/PrepRedzone?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PrepRedzone</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/PRZcory?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PRZcory</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/didomenicomatt5?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@didomenicomatt5</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/UANextFootball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@UANextFootball</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Rivals?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Rivals</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CuseFootball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CuseFootball</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/UBFootball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@UBFootball</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/PennFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PennFB</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/ESU_Football?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ESU_Football</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Wagner_Football?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Wagner_Football</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/StonehillFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@StonehillFB</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/DartmouthFTBL?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@DartmouthFTBL</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/NxgnCamps?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NxgnCamps</a> <a href="https://t.co/ECwqKLMxLq">pic.twitter.com/ECwqKLMxLq</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1466402' first='Jakari' last='Hill'] (@JakariHill_) <a href="https://twitter.com/JakariHill_/status/1975965064994914335?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 8, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">RB's:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1650412"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1940677,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-68e5b7ff3970f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1650412' first='Kahlil' last='Beckett'] is a dual-threat RB that is explosive with the ball in his hands.

Equally, Beckett has the ball carrier vision to find the open space, and his elite burst enables him to accelerate through gaps with ease. Henceforth, this hidden gem was able to take direct snaps from the center and make big plays. The balance to stay on his feet with contact balance while moving through tackle attempts is there.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/20303635/68c73545c4628c0a803019e4' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68e5b7ff39731"} /--> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">[player_tooltip player_id='1650412' first='Kahlil' last='Beckett']<br>6'0 205<br>RB/SS<br>Co' 26<br># 1 RB in NY 🤷🏾‍♂️<br>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/kbeck2?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@kbeck2</a> <br>k23beckett@gmail.com <a href="https://t.co/KjGU2rJJGP">pic.twitter.com/KjGU2rJJGP</a></p>&mdash; Taj The Creator (@Taj_Beckett2) <a href="https://twitter.com/Taj_Beckett2/status/1970685223768657935?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 24, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1789433"],"_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-68e80a1ac076c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This is a hidden gem big-bodied playmaker in [player_tooltip player_id='1789433' first='Chayce' last='Clanton'] that can do a variety of work for the offense. Moreover, that ability to be physical at the point of the catch flashed. All things considered, for Clanton's size, he moves especially strong in space. Not only did he line up at WR, but taking snaps at RB showed his brute strength as a north-south runner. The strides that he has are long, which allows him to gain an abundance of yardage through the ground game when a lane presents itself. Regardless, on tape, snaps were thrown at OLB, where the ability to contain and make an impact was presented.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/22068129/68e3e8999c4dae332bc4a890' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68e80a1ac093e"} /--> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">DE's:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1625944"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1939425,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-68e5b7ff3978c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1625944' first='Nicholas' last='Monaco'] is a true hidden gem player that has the ability to penetrate the LOS at a high rate. By comparison, attacking the run game and making TFLs was a large portion of his tape. Using his active hands to get by blocks, especially on inside moves to impact the QB, presented itself. Meanwhile at FB, Monaco displayed excellent strength at the POA. The ability to be a lead blocker and present active lanes flashed. Finally, he did show excellent snaps at the TE position, especially when having to make blocks on the outside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19358888/677c611a6e2bd177a2d7d4e6' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68e5b7ff397af"} /--> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Here is my defensive film from the preseason up to game 3.
