C2P – What were your expectations arriving in college? What are your expectations moving forward?
I just wanted a chance to play at the next level. There was not much interest shown my way but I was finally given the opportunity at ESU and I never looked back. My expectations moving forward are to keep moving forward and prove to all the doubters once again I can play at the next level.
C2P- What moment did you realize the NFL was an opportunity?
This season when I shattered my previous stats and started seeing NFL scouts at my practices and being told my coaches spoke with them about me.
C2P – What is your best quality at your position?
I would have to say my catch radius and body control.
C2P – What did your coach preach you needed to work on the most?
Speed. Ever since I was little everyone harped on me for sped and I just continued to improve in that area and get faster every year.
C2P – What did your coach praise you on for doing very well?
He said my mindset was always great, my mentality that any time the ball was in the air it was mine, and my unmatched work ethic.
C2P – Have your coaches said NFL Scouts have or shown an interest in you?
Yes they have.
C2P – Your biggest asset that you never were able to reveal in college?
I wouldn’t say it wasn’t revealed but my body control near the sideline and back of the end zone keeping both feet rather than just one in was a thing I have practiced doing since smurf football.
C2P – One word to describe you a player?
Tenacious
C2P – What type of offense/defense did you play mostly in college?
Wide receiver

Showing that I can play against any competition and everyone can throw away that “lack of small school competition”

C2P – What teams in the NFL fit your style the best?
I feel I can fit into any system because everyone praises how coachable I am and I will be the hardest working player on the field whether its running my routes to perfection or blocking to get my teammates into the end zone.
C2P – How do you plan on attacking the next few months to prepare for a shot at the NFL?
Train harder than I ever have before and continuing to eat right.

Ironic, but true Schnaars received mostly D3 offers leaving high school. To say the slipped through the cracks is a bit of an understatement considering he grew into a 6-foot-2 and 208 pound receiver with over 1,600 receiving yards his senior season. His production has grown each and every year at East Stroudsburg.
Schnaars brings terrific size to the receiver position. He plays offense with a defensive mentality and relishes in the opportunity to take on defensive backs when asked to block. His size also carries with it a wide catch radius and Schnaars revealed that is something he has worked on since the second grade is high-pointing and attacking the football. He knows how to use his body to get positioning. Can sky for the ball and provide mismatch problems. While he may appear to be a possession receiver he has the speed to make plays. Hence his 114 receptions for 1,610 yards and 22 touchdowns.
