This is Georgia wide receiver Zachariah Branch.

0:13.2

A five star and is so obvious that he is a five star, four three five, forty time.

0:18.8

That said, he's five nine, one seventy seven.. 60% of his receptions were at or behind the line

0:25.2

of scrimmage. Guess why? Because he's really hard to tackle initially. He's obviously

0:29.9

going to add some special teams value. We got to figure out how much more can Zachariah

0:35.2

Brands be than that, though. Yeah, this is a doozy, okay?

0:37.7

Like you said, under 5'9, 177 pounds on top of that, third percentile arm length.

0:43.9

But then you look at the athletic testing, 435-150, 10-yard split, 75th percentile jumps.

0:51.8

And then on top of it, 20 bench press reps at 177 pounds you see it he

overall recruit in his class.

1:34.0

And he was all jitterbug.

1:36.3

And he was so good in the return game.

1:38.4

He had 744 return yards, both punt and just kick returns.

1:47.5

And it just stalled out. Even this last year was most productive year as a receiver that's 58 yards per game and that's on what like 80 catches

1:52.7

so uh nobody has unlocked the full form zachariah branch maybe that's probably because you know

1:59.5

the five nine you're talking about the really small catch radius, 177. And I think the hard part is he's not going to get more
