About Fletcher
Expert Analysis
Alex Pallone | Prep Redzone Scout
Fletcher is an awesome outside linebacker and running back.
At linebacker, Fletcher is mostly an on-ball player. He excels in nicely-timed blitzes from the backside. He had several free lanes to the QB in which he laid down big hits. Though, when he’s not given an open lane, Fletcher still works hard to get involved with the play. 0:11 is an off-ball highlight where Fletcher reads the QB scramble and goes a good job reacting quickly to earn the sack. Some of his defensive tape is a little difficult to make out, but it looks like Fletcher is reactive and has above-average speed.
At running back, he’s pure power. He’s more of a slasher, similar to what people are saying about Ashton Jeanty right now. Fletcher can run through defenders, and he does a good job of slashing left or right to navigate potential holes. Though he’s not super twitchy.
I’m interested in seeing how Fletcher is viewed this offseason. He’ll probably attend some prospect camps, and as a linebacker, he’ll need to do a lot of off-ball drills and 1on1 pass coverage. He has the size and physicality to be a college prospect, and I hope he has the camp performances to match.
