His good foot quickness, balance, and acceleration enable him to quickly release off the line of scrimmage, creating immediate separation from defenders over the top. Pickens is an instant field stretcher with impressive size as he poses a threat in both short and intermediate ranges, as well as when breaking into deep routes. Additionally, he demonstrates good hand-eye coordination and maintains good body control during contested catches or jump balls. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Note – 3.6 GPA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Mann_pierreP/status/1999622570866589788?s=20","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/Mann_pierreP/status/1999622570866589788?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1219884"],"_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-69418e63165d1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1219884' first='Jakobe' last='Boone'] is a prospect to add to the recruiting board. He excels at creating separation off his breaks due to his good change of direction, balance, and burst. Boone is a challenging receiver to guard in one-on-one situations due to his smooth route running and athletic ability. Overall, he's a shifty, dynamic target at all field levels. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Note – 3.6 GPA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Jakobe_Boone_27/status/1997685523725562266?s=20","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/Jakobe_Boone_27/status/1997685523725562266?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2082385"],"_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-69418e631661c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2082385' first='Elijah' last='Collum'] earns his first-ever ranking, but he won't be there long.
