STRENGTHS
Andraez is a long, lanky defensive back with the surprising strength to go up against those big tall receivers at the next level. He has excellent hands to make the interception and (I don’t say this often about a corner back but) he has a very large interception radius. That means he adjust to the ball in the air and catches it as well as any receiver. Andraez has those long legs that makes it easy for him to stay with receivers and track the deep ball. He’s a quick twitch athlete will the ability to change direction and stay with those pain in the buttock’s quick receivers too. He is very smart at reading the receiver and has the high football IQ to play in the different zone coverages for the next level. Andraez has the athletic talent to play more than one position in your defensive back field and shows leadership skills through his play on the field. He has the ability to turn the page and move on to the next play without it affecting his overall play. For Andraez each play is a different play and each play brings a new challenge, that he is ready and willing to defeat. There is no doubt in my mind that Andraez wants to be one of the best to ever play the game and I believe he will never stop trying to reach that goal.
CONCERNS
I’m seriously not going to bother to nit pick this kids game just to have something to write about. I will say this; his tackling leaves a lot to be desired as far as form is concerned but he gets the job done. He also will need to get off his blocks quicker but once again I’m not going to nit-pick his game…wait… I guess I just did.
TALENT BOARD ROUND 1.36
I really do think that Andraez can be something special once he develops his leadership skills. He has a high football IQ and uses mature techniques and he could help his fellow teammates more if he would become more of a coach on the field. I do believe that will come in time and when it does he will be special because of his pure and natural athletic talents, competitive nature and mental toughness. Andraez has played in the slot and on the corners and I believe because of his skill set to intercept the ball, that using him as a free safety might be a smart move also that’s if… he cleans up his open field tackling. If he keeps his head on straight off the field, there is no stopping him from becoming a fan favorite, a pro bowl player and an important piece of a defense that can be dominating.
