Prospect video of the week: A.J. Green
Welcome to a new feature here at Mocking the Draft. Each week we'll take a look at a player's YouTube video and analyze what we see. If there's a video you want showcased, let me know. This week's video is of Georgia junior wide receiver A.J. Green, MTD's No. 1 draft-eligible prospect.
What this video shows:The first thing you notice watching Green is his body control. Look how he high points the ball at any angle to make the catch. Also pay attention to Gren’s footwork near the sideline. The body control he shows is at an elite level already.
It also shows Green’s impressive hands. He almost always catches the ball with his hands and not his frame. But what this really showed was Green’s surprising strength after the catch. For a player who looks like a somewhat thin 207 pounds, Green has impressive strength to break away from defenders.
What needs to be seen more: Route running. Green excels at post routes and quick underneath routes. Green also doesn’t run away from a lot of defenders so it will be interesting to see how he times. The video also doesn’t show some of the issues Green has beating a jam.
After the jump, check out another Green video.
