mais qui reste puissant pour un receveur qui joue principalement dans le slot. Il n\u2019est pas un super athl\u00e8te : il manque d\u2019acc\u00e9l\u00e9ration et sa vitesse, bien que bonne, n\u2019est pas \u00e9lite. Sa quickness et son explosivit\u00e9 lui font d\u00e9faut sur certains points de son jeu. Il poss\u00e8de un bon body control et semble assez agile. Malgr\u00e9 qu\u2019il ne soit pas un athl\u00e8te \u00e9lite, on peut le qualifier de fluid mover.<br \/><br \/><\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"738\" data-end=\"1986\">Il a principalement \u00e9volu\u00e9 dans le slot. Il a \u00e9t\u00e9 beaucoup mis en mouvement pour lui permettre d\u2019\u00eatre en free release. Quand il a \u00e9t\u00e9 plac\u00e9 sur l\u2019ext\u00e9rieur, c\u2019\u00e9tait pour \u00e9voluer off ball. Egbuka est un tr\u00e8s bon route runner : il est pr\u00e9cis et il utilise tr\u00e8s bien le tempo dans ses courses. Il a principalement un impact sur les deux premiers niveaux du terrain et poss\u00e8de un arbre de trac\u00e9 suffisant pour cela. Son tr\u00e8s bon IQ est un gros atout et il sait absolument o\u00f9 et quand il peut cr\u00e9er de la s\u00e9paration et de l\u2019espace, que ce soit contre la man, mais aussi pour asseoir son trac\u00e9 et donner une solution viable \u00e0 son QB contre la couverture de zone.<br data-start=\"1404\" data-end=\"1407\" \/>Il lui arrive de se faire dominer physiquement au top de sa 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). Son manque de quickness se fait ressentir lorsqu\u2019il break in ou out, et il \u00e9prouve du mal \u00e0 cr\u00e9er de la s\u00e9paration. Son utilisation sur le 3\u1d49 niveau est plus limit\u00e9e \u00e0 cause de son manque de vitesse, qui l\u2019emp\u00eache de cr\u00e9er davantage de s\u00e9paration, mais il sait vendre ses routes et, de temps en temps, il arrive \u00e0 cr\u00e9er la surprise comme face \u00e0 Oregon.<br \/><br \/><\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"1988\" data-end=\"2847\">Egbuka poss\u00e8de des mains solides et une tr\u00e8s bonne ball tracking ability. Sa coordination \u0153il\/pied\/main est elle aussi excellente, et son bon body control lui permet m\u00eame de jolies r\u00e9ceptions tip toe. Il a un manque de longueur de bras et il a du mal \u00e0 utiliser son catch radius pour vraiment \u00e9tendre sa capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 attraper la balle ailleurs qu\u2019au niveau de son corps (attention, je ne dis pas qu\u2019il ne fait que des body catches). Il est une belle menace en YAC gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 sa puissance, son agressivit\u00e9 et une belle agilit\u00e9. Son stiff arm et ses moves sont assez solides.<br \/><br \/><br data-start=\"2570\" data-end=\"2573\" \/>Son run block est int\u00e9ressant : il joue avec agressivit\u00e9, comme je l\u2019ai dit, et aussi avec un gros moteur. Il doit encore peaufiner ses angles de block et travailler sur ses mains, mais sa puissance est assez int\u00e9ressante pour en faire un bloqueur correct dans l\u2019avenir.<br \/><br \/><\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"2849\" data-end=\"3370\"><strong>Emeka Egbuka est un joueur limit\u00e9 et qui n\u2019est pas athl\u00e9tiquement ultra sexy, mais son IQ et ses qualit\u00e9s de route runner font qu\u2019il sera un receveur impactant sur les deux premiers niveaux en NFL, avec la capacit\u00e9 de cr\u00e9er de temps en temps la surprise dans le deep. Il est cependant d\u00e9pendant d\u2019un syst\u00e8me de jeu tourn\u00e9 vers la passe, avec si possible trois receveurs sur le terrain le plus souvent possible, pour lui permettre d\u2019\u00eatre off release et d\u2019utiliser ses capacit\u00e9s \u00e0 cr\u00e9er de l\u2019espace sur le jeu rapide.<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"3372\" data-end=\"3428\"><strong>Grade : 2nd round<\/strong><br data-start=\"3393\" data-end=\"3396\" \/><strong>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>Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State (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 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":24327,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[262,269],"tags":[77,315,314,79,75,85,72,118],"class_list":["post-24670","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-scouting-2025","category-wr-2025","tag-draft","tag-egbuka","tag-emeka","tag-ncaa","tag-nfl-draft","tag-ohio-state","tag-scouting","tag-wr"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24670","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=24670"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24670\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24674,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24670\/revisions\/24674"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24327"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24670"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24670"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetrickplay.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24670"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
