class=\"docos-replyview-static\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Landon Jackson, a long-time starter for the Razorbacks, has garnered attention within the football community for various reasons, including a viral video from a high school gathering, his distinctive alopecia, and his impressive physique. However, the key question is whether his level of play and potential match his notoriety. To determine if he could be of interest, it's important to evaluate his skills, technique, and how he projects at the next level. His performance on the field, rather than his off-field attention, will ultimately dictate his potential impact in the NFL.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">That's what we are going to try to see today on this scouting report for Landon Jackson, Arkansas' Edge rusher.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable-background\" dir=\"ltr\">The first thing to highlight about Landon Jackson, apart from the fact that he's already NFL Ready, is his ability to play on the Edge, no matter what defensive system your team is using.<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable-background\" dir=\"ltr\">Landon Jackson's versatility is evident in his ability to play multiple positions effectively. He has shown he can slide into a defensive end role in a 3-4 front, which often requires skills similar to those of a defensive tackle. Additionally, he has experience playing as a 3-technique (defensive tackle in a 4-3 front) and has demonstrated the ability to hold his own against the run in these situations. This versatility makes him an attractive prospect, as he can adapt to different defensive schemes and contribute in various ways on the field.<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable-background\" dir=\"ltr\">Landon Jackson's ability to play from various stances, including two-point, three-point, and four-point, without negatively impacting his performance, further highlights his adaptability. Additionally, he has shown the capability to play wide in a Wide-9 alignment and even drop into zone coverage when needed. This versatility makes him a valuable asset, as he can be deployed in various roles and schemes, enhancing his potential impact on the field.<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable-background\" dir=\"ltr\">Landon Jackson's ability to line up in various positions and stances, as well as his capacity to contribute in different defensive schemes, makes him a highly versatile player. This hybrid profile is valuable to defensive coordinators who seek flexibility and adaptability in their players. His ability to play both on the edge and inside, as well as his experience in different alignments, makes him a strong candidate for teams looking to add depth and versatility to their defensive line.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable-background\" dir=\"ltr\">Landon Jackson's physical readiness for the NFL is a significant asset. His impressive measurements, listed at 6'7\" and 281 pounds, make him a rare prototype that will undoubtedly attract attention from teams. This size and strength, combined with his versatility, position him as a valuable addition to any defensive line. While official measurements are still pending, his current listed size is already a major selling point.<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable-background\" dir=\"ltr\">After the official measurements at the combine, Landon Jackson's prototype remains impressive, standing at 6'6\" and 264 pounds, with a notable arm length. The only potential concern is the weight loss, which could impact his ability to maintain his strength and power on the field. However, his size and length are still significant advantages that will attract attention from NFL teams.<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable-background\" dir=\"ltr\">The weight loss can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, a serious injury late in the season could have kept Landon Jackson out of the weight room, leading to muscle and weight loss. Additionally, the NFL Combine itself often sees players adjusting their weight and body composition to optimize their performance in specific drills. This strategic approach can sometimes result in temporary weight loss.<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable-background\" dir=\"ltr\">The NFL Combine often sees players strategically adjusting their weight and body composition to optimize their performance in the timed and measured drills. For Landon Jackson, leveraging his weight loss due to injury could be a strategic move to enhance his speed, agility, and explosiveness in these drills. By reaching a weight that balances strength and agility, he can aim to impress scouts with his athleticism, potentially improving his draft stock. This approach is common among combine participants looking to showcase their physical prowess through quantifiable metrics.<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable-background\" dir=\"ltr\">Given Landon Jackson's impressive combine scores, his strategic weight adjustment appears to have paid off. As he prepares for his rookie season, it's reasonable to expect that his weight will increase slightly with focused strength and conditioning training. This positions him well for the NFL, both in terms of physical readiness and athletic capability. His combine performance, combined with his versatility and size, makes him an attractive prospect for teams looking to bolster their defensive line.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable-background\" dir=\"ltr\">Landon Jackson's ability to vary his pass-rushing techniques, despite having an average repertoire of moves, is a notable strength. While he leans more towards a power-rushing style, he effectively mixes in speed techniques to keep offensive linemen guessing. This versatility in his approach makes him a more unpredictable and challenging opponent, enhancing his overall effectiveness as a pass rusher.<br \/>Landon Jackson's stutter step is particularly impressive for a player of his size, adding a dynamic element to his pass-rushing repertoire. When he effectively varies his pass rush and forces his opponent to bite on the stutter step, it becomes an even more devastating move. This ability to deceive and outmaneuver offensive linemen showcases his potential to be a disruptive force on the defensive line, making him a versatile and formidable opponent.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-replyview docos-anchoredreplyview docsshared-no-select-when-no-download docos-replyview-comment\">\n<div class=\"docos-collapsible-replyview\">\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-static\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body  docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\">Jackson also has a good set of hands, which proves rather effective in pass rush situations. While this was particularly noticeable last season, he has been less impressive in this area this season.<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body  docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\">Landon Jackson's bend, like his hand technique, was notably strong at the end of his 2023 season, almost qualifying as excellent for a player of his size. However, this aspect of his game wasn't as prominently featured in his recent performances. The ability to bend is crucial for edge rushers, as it allows them to turn the corner quickly and efficiently while maintaining balance and leverage. If Landon can reemphasize this skill, it will significantly enhance his pass-rushing effectiveness and make him a more formidable defender.<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body  docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\">Is it the fault of the defensive system that has changed this season in Arkansas and has required him to read much more and therefore be less explosive, which in turn allows fewer opportunities for direct pass rush and therefore impacts both the opportunities for us to see his Bend and his handwork in action?<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body  docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\">I don't know about that, but the fact is that Landon hasn't impressed me this season with his ability at Bend and his hands, unlike 2023. So I'm keeping this as one of his strong points in view of what he showed last season, but it's something to keep an eye on.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body  docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\">Another good point for Landon is that he reads the game quite well. Most of the time, he reads pretty quickly, pretty well, and what's more, he's able to do this reading while moving forward and therefore compressing the pocket, which is clearly not something everyone can do. In my opinion, he has improved even further this season, with even more reading to be done thanks to the defensive system used by Arkansas.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body  docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\">Landon also has a large radius on certain tackles, where at first glance he seems to be a long way from the ball carrier, but in the end makes the tackle. Once again, his impressive size and good reach are not to blame.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body  docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\">As I quickly mentioned earlier, Landon tends more towards a Power rusher archetype than a Speed rusher specializing in the Pass rush, and while this inevitably means that he's eager to chase down the opposing QB, he's willing and diligent in the face of the Run Game. You can see that he takes pleasure in defending the run well, and that's a really good point if you hope to be a starter in the NFL.<br \/>Power rush means power under the hood, and Landon's got it, especially with his Punch ability, which is very powerful indeed, and which he clearly doesn't use enough for my taste.<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body  docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\">He could create many more opportunities for big plays in both pass rush and run stop situations, thanks to his big punch and impressive reach.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"docs-icon-img-container docs-icon-img docs-icon-more-vert-24\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Another point to emphasize is that Landon Jackson is a disciplined player. He rarely improvises on his reps, and when he does, it usually hits the mark and he pulls off a big play behind it. A good point for defensive coordinators looking for rigor and discipline to make their systems work.<\/div>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"docs-icon-img-container docs-icon-img docs-icon-more-vert-24\" aria-hidden=\"true\">A new point that I've chosen to leave in the strong points category, largely because I was able to observe it throughout the 2023 season, but which I'll have to keep a close eye on once in the pros, given what I saw of it in the 2024 season: Landon rarely gives up on a play.<\/div>\n<div class=\"docs-icon-img-container docs-icon-img docs-icon-more-vert-24\" aria-hidden=\"true\">In the 2023 season, even when he knew he was beaten or clearly out of the action, he continued to fight. While he certainly didn't do it 100%, he at least did the bare minimum to stay in the action, and sometimes this worked for him, as after a play that went on a little too long, he was regularly able to put pressure on the QB or tackle a carrier who was a little too hesitant and\/or made a bad decision.<\/div>\n<div class=\"docs-icon-img-container docs-icon-img docs-icon-more-vert-24\" aria-hidden=\"true\">I saw a lot less of this kind of play during the 2024 season, and at times I was even disappointed by his attitude, wondering whether he wasn't just so burnt out that I couldn't see any effort left in him, and that it was completely at odds with the player I'd watched last season.<\/div>\n<div class=\"docs-icon-img-container docs-icon-img docs-icon-more-vert-24\" aria-hidden=\"true\">The same can be said of his pursuits, which are no longer as aggressive this season as they were last, much to my disappointment.<\/div>\n<div class=\"docs-icon-img-container docs-icon-img docs-icon-more-vert-24\" aria-hidden=\"true\">If I keep this as a strong point simply because I know Landon is capable of doing it repeatedly, I prefer to remain cautious and pay attention to this change of attitude.<br \/>Lastly, a very good point for Jackson, it's silly but -You really feel his absence on the pitch when he goes out and that's a point that says a lot about a player's quality.<\/div>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-docoview-rootreply\">\n<div class=\"docos-replyview docos-anchoredreplyview docos-replyview-first docos-replyview-comment\">\n<div class=\"docos-collapsible-replyview\">\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-static\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div class=\"docos-docoview-rootreply\">\n<div class=\"docos-replyview docos-anchoredreplyview docsshared-no-select-when-no-download docos-replyview-first docos-replyview-comment\">\n<div class=\"docos-collapsible-replyview\">\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-static\">\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<div class=\"docos-replyview docos-anchoredreplyview docsshared-no-select-when-no-download docos-replyview-comment\">\n<div class=\"docos-collapsible-replyview\">\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-emoji-controls docs-material\">\n<div class=\"docs-material-button-raised-default docs-material-button\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" data-tooltip=\"Ajouter une r\u00e9action emoji\" aria-label=\"Ajouter une r\u00e9action emoji\">\n<div class=\"docs-icon goog-inline-block\">\n<div class=\"docs-icon-img-container docs-icon-img docs-icon-insert-emoticon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-static\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body  docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\">On the weak side of Landon Jackson's game, the first thing to watch out for, given his size, is his leverage and the fact that he constantly has to be careful not to play too high. With his size, it's easy to get into trouble, and during his university career, he was repeatedly put in trouble when he got up too high.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body  docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\">It should also be pointed out that Landon is still very much a Raw player in terms of his ability as a pure pass rusher. While he does indeed know how to vary his attacks, Landon's arsenal of techniques is pretty poor compared to other prospects, and he often finds himself using the same moves.<br \/>In the same way, you can feel his Raw side when you see his lack of counter moves. Indeed, Landon is sometimes too wait-and-see on his technique passage when he fails to get past his opposite number with his first move. If we come back to the fact that Landon's range of moves is still too limited to enable him to use a counter move automatically, the fact is that he takes too long to try something else, and that's when he does try something else.<br \/>As you can see, there's still a lot of work to be done with Jackson before he becomes a constant, lethal threat in pass rush situations.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body  docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\">Another point that bothers me a little about Landon Jackson, and which could have changed his value completely if I'd seen any progress this season, is his glaring lack of explosiveness. For all his qualities, Landon is far from being the most explosive player of the crop in this position.<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body  docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\">Although he manages to compensate for this lack of explosiveness by gaining a lot of ground with each stride thanks to his great size, we've seen that a lack of explosive acceleration can be a real hindrance in a league as physical and full of athletic freaks as the NFL.<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body  docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\">Just look at the early years of Tyree Wilson (Edge, Raiders), who was also an extremely promising prospect, As I'll explain, it was a point I highlighted last season and on which I was waiting to see real progress in order to assess Landon's ability to become a threat on the Edge. Unfortunately, I haven't seen the slightest improvement on this point, not helped once again by the Razorbacks' change of defense.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-replyview docos-anchoredreplyview docsshared-no-select-when-no-download docos-replyview-comment\">\n<div class=\"docos-anchoredreplyview-header\">\n<div class=\"docos-anchoredreplyview-buttonholder hide-on-readonly\">\n<div class=\"docos-overflowmenu-outer\">\n<div class=\"goog-inline-block goog-menu-button docos-docomenu-dropdown goog-toolbar-menu-button\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\" data-tooltip=\"Autres options\" aria-label=\"Other options...\">\n<div class=\"goog-inline-block goog-toolbar-menu-button-outer-box\">\n<div class=\"goog-inline-block goog-toolbar-menu-button-inner-box\">\n<div class=\"goog-inline-block goog-toolbar-menu-button-caption\">\n<div class=\"docs-icon goog-inline-block docs-material  docos-icon-overflow-three-dots-size\">\n<div class=\"docs-icon-img-container docs-icon-img docs-icon-more-vert-24\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-collapsible-replyview\">\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-emoji-controls docs-material\">\n<div class=\"docs-material-button-raised-default docs-material-button\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" data-tooltip=\"Ajouter une r\u00e9action emoji\" aria-label=\"Ajouter une r\u00e9action emoji\">\n<div class=\"docs-icon goog-inline-block\">\n<div class=\"docs-icon-img-container docs-icon-img docs-icon-insert-emoticon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-static\">\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body  docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\">There's another point on which I haven't seen enough progress from him against the big CFB teams, and that's his still too random ability to defend opposing double teams. While he is sometimes capable of completely winning his rep and destroying the double team, Landon is just as capable of getting really roughed up at times. When you look at his player profile, which is likely to put him in this kind of situation on a more or less regular basis, this will clearly be something to work on once he's in the pros, so that he can at least dominate this aspect of the game and then develop more serenely as a pass rusher.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body  docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\">Finally, as I wrote in the strengths section, we need to look again at his ability to drop into the zone. While Landon is indeed capable of doing this, there's still a lot of work to be done to make this aspect of his game mature enough to use it against NFL-level offenses.<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body  docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\">While Landon doesn't have too much trouble dropping into his zone, or reading the game as we saw in the strengths section, it's his decision-making once he's in his zone that's more difficult for him. What's more, here again his lack of explosiveness makes itself felt when he has to re-attack a player who threatens his zone, or once the ball has been sent to a player for whom he is responsible.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-replyview docos-anchoredreplyview docsshared-no-select-when-no-download docos-replyview-comment\">\n<div class=\"docos-anchoredreplyview-header\">\n<div class=\"docos-anchoredreplyview-buttonholder hide-on-readonly\">\n<div class=\"docos-overflowmenu-outer\">\n<div class=\"goog-inline-block goog-menu-button docos-docomenu-dropdown goog-toolbar-menu-button\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"true\" data-tooltip=\"Autres options\" aria-label=\"Other options...\">\n<div class=\"goog-inline-block goog-toolbar-menu-button-outer-box\">\n<div class=\"goog-inline-block goog-toolbar-menu-button-inner-box\">\n<div class=\"goog-inline-block goog-toolbar-menu-button-caption\">\n<div class=\"docs-icon goog-inline-block docs-material  docos-icon-overflow-three-dots-size\">\n<div class=\"docs-icon-img-container docs-icon-img docs-icon-more-vert-24\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-collapsible-replyview\">\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-emoji-controls docs-material\">\n<div class=\"docs-material-button-raised-default docs-material-button\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" data-tooltip=\"Ajouter une r\u00e9action emoji\" aria-label=\"Ajouter une r\u00e9action emoji\">\n<div class=\"docs-icon goog-inline-block\">\n<div class=\"docs-icon-img-container docs-icon-img docs-icon-insert-emoticon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>In conclusion, Landon Jackson's profile is that of a Power Rusher to be developed. While his size and athletic ability will undoubtedly be of great interest to a number of teams, Landon Jackson is also a hybrid player who is potentially capable of playing in all systems, in different positions, on any front and therefore in all possible packages. <\/strong><strong>What's more, his ceiling still seems a long way from being reached, and it's not hard to imagine that he'll make good progress in some of his areas of development, which suggests he has great potential.<br \/><\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>With a Strong side Defensive End profile capable of staying on the field whatever the situation and the down called and his impressive physique, it wouldn't be a flight to go and ogle him early enough on the 2nd day of the draft.<br \/>While I wouldn't have been at all surprised to see him climb to the end of the 1st round last season thanks to his potential and his young age after a successful Combine or Pro Day, I'd have a harder time validating him today since he<\/strong><strong>still lacks the explosiveness that bothers me so much, but also a slight lack of progress on his weak points this season, and an injury at the very end of the season which, even though it seems to have healed thanks to a fine Combine, could put a grain of sand in Landon's development. <\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"docos-replyview-body docos-anchoredreplyview-body docos-replyview-body-emoji-reactable\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>For all these reasons, and as much as I love the player, Landon Jackson ranks in my Tier 2 of Edges, and I think a mid-to-late 2nd round value would be nothing to be ashamed of - on the contrary. If, on rereading this sheet, I realized that people might think I didn't like the player, I can assure you that it's quite the opposite, and if your team needs this kind of profile and he's still available in the 3rd round, he's clearly a no brainer.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Landon Jackson, EDGE, Arkansas (Senior) La Draft NFL 2025 approche \u00e0 grand pas et malgr\u00e9 une cuv\u00e9e qui de prime abord semblait manquer de talent, l&rsquo;\u00e9quipe de The Trick Play s&rsquo;est \u00e0 nouveau plong\u00e9 dans les tapes afin de pouvoir vous proposer les scouting reports des joueurs qui porteront bient\u00f4t le maillot de vos Franchises [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":23586,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[264,262],"tags":[136,77,88,75,72,134],"class_list":["post-23112","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-edges-2025","category-scouting-2025","tag-arkansas","tag-draft","tag-edge","tag-nfl-draft","tag-scouting","tag-sec"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23112","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23112"}],"version-history":[{"count":55,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23112\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23589,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23112\/revisions\/23589"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23586"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23112"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23112"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23112"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
