Prospect evaluation is subjective. Tomorrow we will be discussing certain football actions that provide the proper perspective for the natural athletic ability and current skill set of Class of 2016.
Here are some of the words I’ll be throwing around during the UK NSD Show:
— Fluid hips: Hip flexibility is vital at every position. Stiffness is not good and limits change of direction, lateral movement, speed, and separates good players from SEC level athletes. Flexibility is critical in speed.
— Comfortable playing in space: Mainly applies to linebackers. “Playing in space” describes the area away from line of scrimmage in which one-on-one pass coverage and tackling are required.
