<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A ton of talent flocked to Pontiac on Sunday, and balled out.

He passes the eye test and has solid measurables. He jumped out to me during the testing portion of the day. He moved really well, showed off some nice explosion in the broad jump and had some of the best change of direction of the quarterback group. Once we got to the throwing section of the day, he was solid. Good accuracy and showed off the ability to throw off balance and on the run. With some continued work on mechanics, he could be a sleeper stock riser. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1630831"],"_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-6952f21eb00da"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Really exceptional day for Ali on Sunday afternoon. One of the quickest and most agile athletes in attendance, Ali passed the eye test during the testing portion of the camp. Once we got to 1 on 1 time, Charara was able to slice and dice against some really solid coverage. He didn't tip off his route, and when he stuck his foot in the ground and cut, the defender didn't stand a chance of closing ground on him. As his body continues to mature, he's only going to continue to get better. Huge stock boost heading into this offseason! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1605831"],"_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-6952f21eb016d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Adrian terrorized defensive backs all day long. I am curious to see what his official testing numbers look like, because to the eye he looked explosive. Once he got some coverage he used elite change of direction and clean route running to gain separation. He flashed good hands that allowed him to secure some difficult catches. Blackmon is looking like a potential breakout star in the Downriver area. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1561018"],"_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-6952f21eb01fa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">James is back from injury, and he went out and balled right from the start. The lateral quickness was there, the acceleration and top end speed were there as well. He made cuts with ease and looked overall explosive. Heading into his senior year, I'm definitely expecting him to be one of the top backs in the OAA after yesterday's performance. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2085112"],"_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-6952f21eb0286"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brody absolutely deserves some shine after Sunday's performance! He looked really good and passed the eye test during the testing portion of our camp. Once he started to run routes against coverage, he was able to gain separation more often than not, and even when the defender didn't bite, he was able to outmuscle them to secure the catch. I was impressed to see a smaller school athlete come out and ball against some stout competition from around the state. Great overall performance that solidifies him as an under the radar prospect in Mid-Michigan. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
