Scouting Notes
- Was moved all over the line of scrimmage to block wherever most necessary, showing great mobility and reliability.
- Key blocker on many plays.
- Keeps defenders in front of him using his long reach to its full potential.
- Very big with great weight distribution and usage.
- Easily passes off rushers and switches assignments.
- One of the best run blockers in this class, despite the PFF grade.
- Toughness, grit, and competitive nature are off the charts.
Short Summary
As you can see, I have no qualms with Steve Avila. He is one of the few prospects that I struggled to find a flaw for. As a result, he is a Top 10 player on my board. His high-end might not be as high as others at the top of my board, and his positional value is lower, but overall he is as polished, complete, and dominant a player as the rest of the blue-chippers.
Scouting Card Key
- Age refers to the age of the player come draft night, rounded to the nearest half-age.
- Percentage numbers in the Player Info and Combine Stats sections – This refers to the percentile that number belongs to among all players at his position, going back nearly a decade.
- Percentiles in the Advanced Stats portion for cumulative stats are snap-adjusted. In other words, naturally, a player with more snaps will allow more sacks. Therefore, the percentiles are calculated using the snap-adjusted number, rather than the straight-forward total.
- PBLK Grade – PFF Pass Block Grade.
- RBLK Grade – PFF Run Block Grade.
- HitA, HurryA, PressA, SacksA – Hits Allowed, Hurries Allowed, Pressures Allowed, Sacks Allowed.
