PRZNY Exposure Series: Pass Catcher Notes

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We had over 16 WR's, TE's in attendance competing this past weekend in horrible conditions. These RB's put on a show for myself, Nick, Jon, and Coaches. In this article, we will take a look at some notes I accumulated of a few WR's who were in attendance during the showcase.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><span style="font-size: revert;white-space: normal;font-family: var(--wp--preset--font-family--system-fonts)">Want to stay updated with the latest news and articles from Prep Redzone NY?

He is an impressive veteran, and has consistently seen his ranking rise since the start of lass season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Vakili was part of a stacked WR group, and I love watching the 2027 prospect work. He has exceptional hands, and is a physical playmaker who can rack in catches through contact. I liked his ability to make sharp cuts, and he is a smart route runner in 1v1s. He should look to work on his footwork at the top of his routes, in order to gain separation, and find himself open more across the field. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1880924"],"_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-6a21e0bb9e7b6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another FDR prospect who was in attendance was [player_tooltip player_id='1880924' first='Gavin' last='Parks']. The FDR TE, is a player who not only can tackle a lead scout, but shows consistency in his game, and is constantly working to improve. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He may not be the best athlete on the field, but he consistently is working and has seen a huge improvement in his combine times from his last showcase. He showed strong hands, and was great in tough 50/50 catches. He showed good improvements with his skills, but should look to work on quicker routes, and getting a good burst off the line. Using his hands can be deadly, and allow him to gain crucial separation. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2076848"],"_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-6a21e0bb9e7dc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kalfas is another TE, and the only other TE we had in attendance. He consistently, has showed up and showed out at Prep Redzone Showcases in the past year. The St. Anthony's prospect, can play on both sides of the ball, and is working on his frame, to continue as a TE. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kalfas is a solid prospect, and continues to work on his craft. His combine numbers and testing numbers have improved since the last showcase he attended. Kalfas, is a player I like off the line, as he shows a quick burst, allowing him to get down the field with ease. I do want to see some improved route running and footwork down the field, to improve his playmaking down the field. Overall Kalfas is a growing player who has good potential. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"
