He has a strong arm, throws with great accuracy, and can really push the ball downfield. I love seeing how well he can hit his deeper targets. This offense is explosive with him dropping back and throwing.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Roberts is terrific on the move. He's quick on his feet, can quickly cut and change his direction, and has the speed to turn upfield for huge gains on the ground. This, combined with his passing, makes him ridiculously tough for defenses to stop."</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Roberts had a phenomenal year, throwing for 1600+ yards, rushing for 930, and totaling up 44 TDs on the year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Roberts is a gamer with some really fun tape that you can check out below.

He has great burst, runs hard, and excellent vision he uses to find the best lane and exploit defenses every snap. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Gray can also produce in the passing game. He's a reliable target who uses his hands, speed, and acceleration to take screens/shorter passes the distance. All around, he can make plays in so many different ways. I think he has a big season ahead of him next fall."</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Do yourself a favor and check out some of Gray's film below.

He can line up in the slot as well as outside, and isn't limited when it comes to his route running. Bankhead is a guy who will always be open and move the sticks for your offense. Everyone should watch out next season."</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If you haven't seen Bankhead before, make sure you check out some of his clips below.

At 6'2 185, he possesses a ton of speed and elusiveness. He's a monster after the catch, if he hits the open field- good luck stopping him. He can completely separate from opposing defenses with how well he accelerates and moves with the ball in his hands.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>I love watching Riley attack the ball. He does a great job using his size and hands to fight off DBs and bring it in. I'm really impressed with how he can make plays through contact- he's a strong wideout who doesn't shy away from big hits. You can see it on tape, he'll do whatever it takes to come down with the ball. It's awesome to watch."</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Riley was explosive this past season, hauling in 67 receptions for 1127 yards and 12 TDs on the year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I really was impressed with Riley's film.

He has great arm strength and terrific accryacy he uses to lead and place the ball only where his WRs can make a play on it. He does a great job placing touch underneath his deeper throws while also showing he can zip the ball into tighter windows; it's really impressive to see.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Owens completely embarrasses defenses with his mobility. He does a fantastic job avoiding sacks to extend plays, and can roll out of the pocket and move the sticks whenever he wants. His speed, acceleration, and ability to throw on the run/under pressure make him so valuable in this offense."</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Owens followed up last year's success with an even better year, completing 182/262 passing attempts for 2547 yards in the air, 852 rushing yards on the ground, and totaling 28 TDs on the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I've become a big fan of Owens over these past few months.
