Colorado's 2027 Prospects with a Chip on Their Shoulder

Berard measures in at 6'1 215-pounds playing LB for Legend. This previous season, he had 111 total tackles (38 solo, 73 assisted), 5 TFL, 1 sack, 5 QB pressures, with 1 fumble recovery. Berard displays very good athletic ability due to very good lateral quickness, acceleration, change of direction, with good jumping, and speed. Very good read and reaction speed. Berard is consistently watching where the QB's eyes and ball are. Displays very good range uses his lateral quickness to dominate sideline to sideline. Very good tackling. Stops the ball carrier in their tracks and will consistently run across the field to help teammates. Very good get off and block shedding ability. Berard uses his very good mental processing to take the extra split second on RPOs and read options. He's a smart player that will keep getting better. Look for him to continue dominating on the gridiron this upcoming season.     Smith measures in at 6'3 215-pounds playing OLB switching between edge and off-ball. Last season, he had 58 total tackles (7 solo, 45 assisted), 8 TFL, 6 sacks, 4 PD, with 1 FF. Smith has good athletic ability due to good acceleration, speed, lateral quickness, change of direction, and balance. Good initial quickness paired with a good bend to get around tackles. Uses his very good hand strength to rip through blocks and take down anchors. Does a good job collapsing the pocket and creating pressure on the QB. He has an arsenal of pass rushing moves in his back pocket and uses them at will. If he can't reach the QB, he'll put his arms up to create a pass deflection. Out in space, he has good range and solid zone coverage. I'm looking forward to seeing how Smith does this upcoming season.     Villeneuve measures in at 5'11 170-pounds playing WR/CB. Last season, he had 42 receptions for 675 yards with 3 touchdowns, 33 carries for 120 yards, 25 total tackles (20 solo, 5 assisted), 2 INT, including 6 pass deflections.

Does a good job to gain yards after the catch as well. As a corner, he has very good man coverage skills and will stick to the receiver. Uses his very good timing to create pass deflections and disrupt offenses. Good tackling too. I'm very excited to see how Villeneuve takes the next step in his development.     Moore measures in at 6'3 245-pounds playing tackle for Doherty. Moore displays a good initial quickness with very good hand speed to create contact on the defender first. Moore maintains a low pad level due to his good knee bend. Uses his very good placement and good hand strength to control and steer them. Very good strength. Out leverages the defender and creates extra time in the pocket or lanes for his running back. With his good anchor, he readjusts with his good balance and body control. Moore has very good competitive toughness and plays through the whistle. With another off-season of development under his belt, I'm excited to see how Moore plays this upcoming season.
