DEANDRE MANN HIGHLIGHTS

Crowded backfield in high school that had others like Lamar Miller and Richard Leonard taking carries hampered the recruiting process for Mann. Gifted and dedicated he is compact and strong. Runs hard and shows good balance. Is quick and sudden and shows good vision. Shows the burst needed and exposed his athleticism at this Pro Day. Good lateral quickness and change of direction. Takes pride and prepares for pass pro and works to keep quarterback on his feet. Situational option at the next level that can show up in variety of plays due to his ability.
