Garcia has good athletic ability due to very good change of direction, good acceleration, speed, and balance. Very good throw power and very good release. Garcia maintains a smooth throwing motion throughout. Garcia has good pocket presence with very good pocket mobility. If no one's open, he'll use his good scramble ability to gain the first down or positive yards. One thing of note about Garcia is his off-platform throws. He's able to throw it on his back foot and maintain accuracy while on the run. I'm very excited to see how he does next season! I believe he has a lot of potential.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2080276"],"_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-699a1ac6431b6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brown measures in at 5'11 150-pounds playing WR/LB for Thomas Jefferson.
