Sample is serving up large doses of crazy work no matter what side of the ball he lines up on. He is a big play waiting to happen, his athleticism is off the charts and he makes teams pay with his ability to close the deal from anywhere on the football field. As a wideout, he has elite burst off the line of scrimmage, he has excellent short area quickness, which enables him to get free early in his route at the point of attack and his fluidness combined with his twitchiness make him a matchup nightmare. What makes Sample special is his explosive elevation to extend and highpoint the football in traffic. He has the elite body control to contort his body mid-air and win on the 50/50 contested grab. He has an extended catch radius, strong, soft mitts that engulf the football and he is aggressive when the football is in his vicinity. In the open field, Sample is shifty in space, he explodes to second level and he has the next level speed to separate from defenders. When he lines up in the Katy Jordan secondary, he has the skill set to lockdown his side of the field. His arm length enables him to get hands on receivers early in press-man, he uses excellent technique in is on ball coverage and he has great ball skills when the ball is in the air. In 2022, Zechariah racked up 1,024 all-purpose yards, 21 tackles, with 3 interceptions, that included a pick 6. His stock is rising, as he most recently has picked offers from Tulsa, Arizona State and UNLV.
