Correspondingly, his ability to make creative throws on third down was a defining part of his game. Making flash throws that were right out of the defenders' grasp was thrilling. He also brings athletic traits when using his legs to extend plays. He showcased his running ability to extend the chains and for larger gains multiple times. Even more, escaping from rushers and hitting his receivers on off-balanced throws was exposed within. Dem is a QB that has a lot of accuracy, playmaking ability, and confidence that will carry over.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/20766580/692d8a09266f7c1db1826f01' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-694f39b8cd0a9"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":2089671,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Denzel Sanchez","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"165","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Rush Henrietta","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-694f39b8cd177"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Denzel Sanchez is a WR that had a niche for breaking tackles to move the chains when contact is first made. In another case, he leans on quickness and short-area bursts to win against defenders to win battles. Moreover, Sanchez emerged as a reliable third-down target because of his quickness and speed in the slot. Sanchez has a strong ability to make catches over the middle with strong hands. Regardless, the ability to find open space in the field for his QB to find him helps tremendously. Knowing how to get open in critical red zone situations would show.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/26765914/69128f23b961307c34280364' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-694f39b8cd1ab"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1466402"],"_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-694f39b8cd20a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1466402' first='Jakari' last='Hill'] is a security blanket WR that knows how to work and excel in the short and intermediate areas of the field to consistently move the chains. Similarly, Hill was a sharp route runner that could cut quickly in space. Right when the ball is caught, Hill has quick feet and acceleration to generate yards. This was beneficial on third downs when having to make a play. Even more, Hill shows resilience by being able to make double moves and over-the-shoulder catches.

Getting open for his QB and displaying reliable hands-on quick passes was there. In addition, his awareness shines on scramble drills; working back to the QB was the essence of his play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/22841020/691907cadc5adf429deec8b2' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-694f39b8cd310"} /--> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">WE OUT HERE WORKING COACHES LETS TAP IN!
