dispose d\u2019une bonne vitesse, mais surtout d\u2019une tr\u00e8s grosse explosivit\u00e9. En effet, il est capable de changements de direction d\u00e9vastateurs et de cuts ou spin moves tout aussi explosifs. On ressent vraiment une tr\u00e8s bonne acc\u00e9l\u00e9ration sur ses premiers pas, mais il n\u2019a pas cette capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 finir les jeux avec une vitesse cons\u00e9quente. Son tr\u00e8s bon footwork lui permet des changements de direction \u00e9lites, mais aussi d\u2019\u00eatre ultra patient derri\u00e8re son OL pour pouvoir prendre le gap au bon moment. Je trouve que Neal manque de puissance, notamment d\u00fb \u00e0 un centre de gravit\u00e9 haut, ce qui l\u2019emp\u00eache de casser des plaquages de mani\u00e8re constante et de pouvoir continuer sa course.<br \/><br \/><\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"763\" data-end=\"1148\">Une des grosses qualit\u00e9s de Neal est sa prise d\u2019information. Comme je l\u2019ai expliqu\u00e9 plus haut, il a une bonne capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 rester derri\u00e8re son OL et sa capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 exploser dans le gap est l\u00e9gitime. Dans l\u2019open field, on le voit aussi souvent tourner sa t\u00eate \u00e0 la recherche d\u2019informations, ce qui lui permet de s\u2019ajuster et donc de pallier ce petit manque de vitesse pour finir les plays. Son plus gros d\u00e9faut lors de ses courses est qu\u2019il a tendance \u00e0 trop \u00e9tirer le jeu vers l\u2019ext\u00e9rieur du terrain au lieu de prendre ce qui se pr\u00e9sente devant lui, chose qui marche en CFB, mais beaucoup moins en NFL. Il doit aussi faire attention \u00e0 la protection du ballon, il doit beaucoup mieux le s\u00e9curiser au contact avec son deuxi\u00e8me bras. \u00c0 l\u2019heure o\u00f9 j\u2019\u00e9cris ce scouting, il n\u2019est pas cr\u00e9dit\u00e9 de fumble sur ESPN, mais sur les films de 2023, j\u2019en ai vu 2.<br \/><br \/><\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"1612\" data-end=\"2227\">Devin Neal a de bonnes mains et une excellente transition de receveur vers coureur. Il est capable d\u2019apporter beaucoup de danger apr\u00e8s r\u00e9ception gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 sa vision et ses capacit\u00e9s d&rsquo;\u00e9limination. Son arbre de trac\u00e9s peut \u00eatre encore plus d\u00e9velopp\u00e9, mais il peut d\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00eatre utilis\u00e9 dans le flat, sur des swing passes, trac\u00e9s wheel et sur des screens. Son d\u00e9veloppement en tant que slot receveur doit \u00eatre primordial, car il montre de jolis flashes. Il a vraiment cette mentalit\u00e9 de receveur que j\u2019aime beaucoup chez lui, quand on lui donne le ballon lorsqu\u2019il est en mouvement (par des speed options, par exemple).<br \/><br \/><\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"2229\" data-end=\"2572\">Neal a la capacit\u00e9 d\u2019\u00eatre un bon pass blocker, mais il doit \u00eatre plus rigoureux sur sa technique et arr\u00eater de bloquer avec son \u00e9paule ou de cut block. Il a d\u00e9j\u00e0 d\u00e9montr\u00e9 qu\u2019il savait le faire, et dans la NFL moderne, c\u2019est un aspect du jeu ultra demand\u00e9 chez les RB qui peuvent vous faire gagner des tours de draft (RB Dameon Pierce, Texans).<br \/><br \/><\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"2574\" data-end=\"3116\"><strong>Devin Neal pourrait donc \u00eatre ce RB moderne tant cherch\u00e9 par les \u00e9quipes NFL : bon athl\u00e8te, bon receveur, capable de big plays, possible bon pass blocker, qui peut avoir ce r\u00f4le de gadget player et qu\u2019on peut m\u00eame entrevoir en tant que retourneur en \u00e9quipes sp\u00e9ciales, en vue de ses qualit\u00e9s athl\u00e9tiques et de ses skills, m\u00eame si ce r\u00f4le ne lui \u00e9tait pas attribu\u00e9 \u00e0 Kansas. <\/strong><strong>Malheureusement, on ne peut pas esp\u00e9rer une utilisation dans n\u2019importe quel sch\u00e9ma de jeu, le zone run est primordial pour utiliser au mieux ses capacit\u00e9s de coureur.<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"3118\" data-end=\"3160\"><strong>Grade : 3rd round<\/strong><br data-start=\"3135\" data-end=\"3138\" \/><strong>Draft Projection : Day 3<\/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>Devin Neal, RB, Kansas (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":5,"featured_media":23617,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[268,262],"tags":[297,77,201,79,298,75,72],"class_list":["post-24264","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-rb-2025","category-scouting-2025","tag-devin","tag-draft","tag-kansas","tag-ncaa","tag-neal","tag-nfl-draft","tag-scouting"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24264","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=24264"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24264\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24271,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24264\/revisions\/24271"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23617"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24264"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24264"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24264"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
