Il poss\u00e8de de bonnes qualit\u00e9s athl\u00e9tiques sans \u00eatre \u00e9lites. Son acc\u00e9l\u00e9ration et sa vitesse semblent suffisantent pour avoir un bon range et \u00eatre plac\u00e9 en single high safety. Il manque de puissance et s\u2019est fait exposer sur ce point sur tous les domaines. Une petite prise de masse pourrait \u00eatre b\u00e9n\u00e9fique et ne devrait pas affecter ses qualit\u00e9s athl\u00e9tiques. J\u2019ai vu des flashes d\u2019un athl\u00e8te fluide et agile mais trop souvent g\u00e2ch\u00e9s par plusieurs probl\u00e8mes techniques ou de vision du jeu.<br \/><br \/><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Starks a un backpedal haut et il peut se retrouver sur les talons au top de la stem (La Stem du trac\u00e9 est le segment vertical initial du trac\u00e9 d&rsquo;un receveur, c&rsquo;est-\u00e0-dire la partie de l&rsquo;itin\u00e9raire qui pr\u00e9c\u00e8de le break du receveur) du WR \u00e0 cause de cela. Ce backpedal provoque aussi des extra steps lors du break. M\u00eame si sa <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">click and close (C\u2019est la capacit\u00e9 d&rsquo;un DB ou d&rsquo;un LB \u00e0 lire l&rsquo;action et r\u00e9agir avec agressivit\u00e9) est bonne, elle est entrav\u00e9e par ce probl\u00e8me technique par moment (Tr\u00e8s visible en soft Man) et par un manque d\u2019anticipation des trac\u00e9s du receveur, il joue beaucoup en r\u00e9action. Sa discipline des yeux en couverture a \u00e9t\u00e9 expos\u00e9 sur plusieurs matchs comme Clemson, Alabama ou Texas et je trouve m\u00eame qu\u2019elle a regress\u00e9 en 2024. En press il est capable de mirror<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (suivre comme un miroir les pieds du receveur lors de la release) la release de son vis \u00e0 vis mais il doit \u00eatre plus dominant gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 la longueur de ses bras par exemple pour Bump and run (<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A technique used by a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DB<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,aligned in front of a receiver, consisting of a block (<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bump<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) on the latter, only during the first 5 yards (beyond that, it's a foul), before following them in their running route<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p><br \/><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Starks a flash\u00e9 de tr\u00e8s bons ball skills et une capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 attaquer le ballon au point le plus haut \u00e9lite. Il a flash\u00e9 une bonne coordination oeil\/pied\/main mais doit faire un travail sur la capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 tourner sa t\u00eate pour tracker la balle plus souvent et \u00eatre en capacit\u00e9 de jouer la PD ou l\u2019interception au lieu de rester sur le joueur et de jouer en r\u00e9action. Le fait qu\u2019il se mette loin tout seul des receveurs ou TE en leur laissant cr\u00e9er de la s\u00e9paration \u00e0 fait baisser la possibilit\u00e9 de jouer la balle et donc ses statistiques cette ann\u00e9e (1Int 3PD contre 3 Int et 7PD en 2023)<br \/><br \/><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contre la course son agressivit\u00e9 et son manque de discipline (overcommitment) sont un probl\u00e8me, il a autoris\u00e9 des gros gains voir des TDs (Contre Alabama sur le TD de Milroe \u00e0 la course sur une option) et c\u2019\u00e9tait d\u00e9j\u00e0 visible sur sa saison Sophomore. Starks laisse parler son instinct, chose que j\u2019aime chez les safety, le probl\u00e8me c\u2019est que son instinct n\u2019est pas bon et le met souvent en difficult\u00e9. Il peut avoir beaucoup de mal \u00e0 se d\u00e9faire des blocks (Alabama) et \u00e0 spill the run from the box <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(il s\u2019agit de venir prendre l\u2019\u00e9paule ext\u00e9rieur du lead blocker pour renvoyer le jeu \u00e0 l\u2019int\u00e9rieur).<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Il est un plaqueur assez puissant malgr\u00e9 son gabarit un peu l\u00e9ger pour le poste avec une bonne technique (parfois inconsistante) et de longs bras mais c\u2019est ses angles de plaquages qui posent souvent probl\u00e8me.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Malaki Starks est potentiellement le safety de cette cuv\u00e9e avec le plus haut plafond mais le fait qu\u2019il n\u2019ait pas progress\u00e9 et gomm\u00e9 ses probl\u00e8mes voir m\u00eame d\u2019avoir regress\u00e9 en 2024 me questionne. Le profil athl\u00e9tique est int\u00e9ressant, les flashes sont l\u00e0 mais il va devoir vraiment accentuer son travail sur sa discipline et faire progresser son IQ. Je ne le pense pas ready Day 1 comme je peux le voir chez certains scouts et je pense qu\u2019on est actuellement loin d\u2019un 1st round talent. Un choix du 2\u00e8me jour semble \u00eatre plus judicieux pour ce joueur qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 expos\u00e9 \u00e0 plusieurs reprises ces 2 derni\u00e8res saisons.<br \/><br \/><\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Grade : 3rd round<br \/>Draft Projection : 1st round<\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/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>Malaki Starks, SAF, Georgia (Junior) 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":5,"featured_media":23717,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[273,262],"tags":[77,133,289,79,75,252,72,134,290],"class_list":["post-24159","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-s-2025","category-scouting-2025","tag-draft","tag-georgia","tag-malaki","tag-ncaa","tag-nfl-draft","tag-saf","tag-scouting","tag-sec","tag-starks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24159","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\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24159"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24159\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24163,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24159\/revisions\/24163"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23717"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24159"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24159"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24159"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
