oldschooler Posted April 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Sample saved his best season for last, garnering honorable mention All-Pac-12 honors by catching 25 passes for 252 yard (10.1 average) and three touchdowns for the Pac-12 champions. He struggled through a leg injury his junior year but continued to play, earning the Huskies' Don James Perseverance Award for his efforts. He caught seven passes for 84 yards on the year, starting 8 of 10 games played. It was the second time Sample had received a major postseason award from the team, as he was the recipient of the Tough Husky Award after his redshirt freshman season (5-45-9.0, two receiving TDs in 13 games with seven starts.) The former All-King County selection from Newport High School in Bellevue was an honorable mention All-Pac-12 selection after his sophomore campaign, when he caught nine passes for 106 yards (11.8 average). Analysis By Lance Zierlein NFL Analyst Draft Projection Round 4 NFL Comparison Jack Doyle Overview Sample's size and lunch-pail demeanor are what NFL teams look for at the point of attack. While he might be typecast as just a blocking tight end, he possess enough speed and ball skills to become a more productive pass catcher than he was at Washington. His size, football character and commitment as a run blocker give him a chance to become a solid combination tight end with TE2 potential. Strengths Cerebral player praised for task-oriented, serious demeanor NFL size to step into blocking duties of a "Y" tight end Possesses adequate tenacity and grip strength to help sustain blocks Uses good technique and placement with hands as run blocker Works to unlock hips under his hands for improved leverage at point of attack Patient second-level blocker with motor to try and chase down targets in space if needed Good initial speed into routes Opens his stride length for some separation speed on crossing routes Sharpens focus despite body or hand traffic near the catch point Recognizes man vs zone coverage and will cut routes off and sink in space for his quarterback Hands are supple and sure as pass catcher Weaknesses Routes are a little monotone and predictable Doesn't create much leverage into breaks against man coverage, allowing defenders to stick to him Production as pass-catcher has been limited Needs to improve upper-body strength to handle rigors of NFL blocking Takes inconsistent angles in cut-off blocks Would benefit from learning to re-set hands in pass protection when giving up his frame Doesn't lack toughness but could use a little more edge https://www.nfl.com/prospects/drew-sample?id=32195341-4d09-3961-4a51-98a97d3cf50f&campaign=tw-cf-sf211700366-sf211700366&sf211700366=1&utm_source=t.co&utm_medium=referral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
