He shows a quick first step and can win right off the ball with his burst and physicality. He has the versatility to play on the edge, contain outside runs, and still create pressure on the quarterback. He also has the strength to slide inside and hold up against the run when needed. He plays through the whistle and brings a high-effort style every snap. He could end up being a steal for the right program because the tools and motor are both there.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2209115"],"_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-6a06167eb4090"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Clukey has a big body and strong frame and plays hard on every snap. He's an effective end-of-line blocker who uses his strength well at the point of attack. On offense, he shows strong hands and can run through contact after the catch or with the ball in his hands. Defensively, he brings a good motor and can create pressure off the edge, showing the ability to win on the outside. I like the toughness and versatility he brings, and he's the type of player who can impact the game in multiple ways.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2209116"],"_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-6a06167eb40b3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cogswell has good length and long strides and brings experience in all three phases of the game. He's a good returner with solid vision and the ability to house one once he gets into space. Offensively, he's a good receiver who can work over the middle, go in motion, and be used on jet sweeps to create mismatches. He's a versatile athlete who can impact the game in a variety of ways. I think the all-around skill set makes him a really useful piece for an offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2209128"],"_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-6a06167eb40d3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Reardon is a lengthy athlete with good speed and intriguing overall potential. He's still a bit raw, but the athletic tools stand out, and there's plenty to work with. Offensively, he can be effective after the catch and pick up yards after contact with his stride length and movement ability. Defensively, he can come downhill and tackle in the run game while also showing good sideline-to-sideline range. I feel like he's a player whose upside could really show as he continues to develop and refine his game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2209135"],"_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-6a06167eb40f2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fedor has a good frame and clearly puts in work in the weight room. He has a strong upper body and plays with noticeable strength at the point of attack. He shows good burst, can get off blocks, and does a nice job playing the run and filling lanes. He plays with physicality and stays active around the football. He's a player who could really step up this fall as his role continues to grow.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
