Film Analysis: Garden State Gridiron

<p>A week after the event, the <strong>Garden State Gridiron </strong>7v7 is still on scout's minds across the region. Luckily for us, there is a treasure trove of highlights that players uploaded themselves, showing the effort and performance they put on during the two days of action. As the offseason continue, make sure to put some attention towards these players at 7v7's and combine events. They are names to get familiar with if you aren't already.</p>    <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2174199' first='Daniel' last='Colon Jr']. is one of the premier defensive backs in the state, and he proved it last weekend in Elizabeth, NJ. </p>   <p><em>Twitchy</em> is one of the best word to describe Daniel's play on the field. A defender than can anticipate a receiver's route and react to their movement quickly, Daniel can shut down a route in any direction. What impresses me here is how quickly he diagnosed the route and came out of his back peddle to scream upfield to break up the pass. He showed great range in his abilities, staying in lock step with the receiver as they made their way down the sideline.</p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/WatchMeWork2029/status/2046005929980662042 </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top DBs in NJ's 2029 class, [player_tooltip player_id='1514925' first='Tymir' last='Sanders'] balled out once again by being the lock down defender everyone knows him to be.</p>   <p>With this interception, Tymir positioned himself to practically be the primary target on the throw and climbed the ladder to take it away from the receiver. It is a perfect example of how well he can track the ball, compete for it, and stay locked in on a defender throughout the route tree.</p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/TymirSanders/status/2045596458884243758 </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1638549' first='Josiah' last='Singh'] has been getting more and more recognition on Prep Redzone recently, and for good reason. Performing at an elite level last weekend as his squad's QB, Josiah moved the ball down the field with patience and ease. Throughout the weekend, Josiah showed he can consistently hit his receivers in stride to keep the chains moving.</p>   <p>Josiah's touchdown in his X post is a perfect example of patience, processing speed and delivering a well timed throw with his receiver. Josiah saw the play develop in front of him and snuck the ball into a tight window to keep it away from the defenders. </p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Jerseyjuice7/status/2045677667467350173 </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">Connor Rickle was one of the major weapons for Prolific at the <strong>Garden State Gridiron</strong> 7v7. Connor showed some of the best hands during Prolific's playoff run. Coming up with the ball in contested catch situations and staying composed when the ball was thrown into traffic, Connor really elevated his status by consistently making the difficult catch. The detail that really stood out to me was Connor catching the ball away from his body, preventing it from bouncing off his chest and extending out to snag it before the defender could.</p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/PrepRedzoneNJ/status/2046986265963250013 </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">Two weekends in the row I've gotten the chance to see Hunter Behm compete with Swag 14u. From one weekend to the next you can see Hunter getting more and more comfortable and improving over the offseason.</p>   <p>Hunter is one of those QB's that you can tell right away has a high football IQ. A precision thrower, on numerous occasions Hunter placed the ball where only his man could get it. Whether it was placing it over the shoulder or zipping the ball in across the middle, Hunter has shown he is a versatile thrower with a very high ceiling.</p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/BehmHunter2031/status/2047035567238529419 </div></figure>
