I watched a ton of Iowa games the past 2 years bc I really liked what I saw from Stanley coming into the year. He didn't progress at all but it was clear those around him were held back or limited w what they could do.
Easley would recognize a zone design, run a dig so a LB would be on him as opposed to a DB w no look from the QB.
Tons of plays like that or he'd just beat his man w no shot of getting the ball.
Killed the 10, shuttle & 3 which love & ran a sub 4.55 I believe? He'd be an excellent fit here.
One reason I want to wait at WR & a possible trade up for a TE. I'd be down w a small trade for Fant/Hock but its a position ruled by guys like Kittle, Ertz, Kelce, McDonald, Walker etc excluding Gronk who was a 2nd but top 10-20 on a lot of boards.
His 10 yard split is clear on film, he clearly has a second gear. The quickness is very evident too with some Edelman like ankle breaking routes. And the thing I liked most was the fact that he catches the ball away from his body. There was some stuff I wasn’t so keen on. He ran out of bounds short of the FG line on a play at the end of the game (Penn State I believe) and sometimes his routes aren’t so crisp but it’s all there to be coached up. Of all the smurfs we’ve signed or drafted over the recent years, he’s the one I feel best about.
