<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Let's take a look at some of the risers in the class and players who have maximized their offseason. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1571039"],"_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-69f1777d683b9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Christian seemingly has earned an offer every week since the offseason. It's easy to see why. He has a ready made frame and is a complete Tight End. He is a good blocker, shows good physicality and does well supporting the run game. He can be inline or detached and this is where he is a mismatch. He can be lined up out wide and opposing defenses have to decide if they want to have a backer or safety on him. He's to athletic and nimble for most backers and too big and physical for most safeties. He has a large catch radius and has great athleticism. He has clean footwork and is fleet-footed. His hands are huge, and he is a sure-handed receiver. His large catch radius makes him a big red zone threat. His speed and his ability to get vertical makes him a threat to be a big play pass catcher. He is the complete package and is a P4 starter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1558166"],"_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-69f1777d68481"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jaxton has made the most of his offseason and the athletic playmaker makes the baker's dozen in our updated rankings. He is a player who is excellent with the ball in his hands and he can make defenders miss with ease. Watching him run routes, it's almost as if he's gliding on skates. He has great hip fluidity and is a true playmaker. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1566273"],"_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-69f1777d68522"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He's a big bodied lineman with great mass and a great frame. He is best on the interior but if needed, he has the footwork to work the tackles if needed. He has a strong base and is fundamentally sound. He has violent hands and for a player his size, watching him have clean footwork and moving well laterally is such a fun tape to see. He's a player who should get some offers rolling in. Big time player for the class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1694784"],"_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-69f1777d685a9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dakota made a splash at our showcase in December, and his recruitment took off after that. He's now getting multiple FBS offers, and he is a player who has great size, has an excellent frame, and has a great base. He can line up at either tackle spot and has the quickness needed to handle EDGE rushers. He is such a fun player to watch, and seeing him live has been an absolute pleasure. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Those are some risers to know for the class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

Let's take a look at some of the risers in the class and players who have maximized their offseason.
