Simply Smooth

Over the years I have seen tons of video on different players throughout the country. Most film takes a second an third look to get a true evaluation of the player in question. But with some players you can cut on the film and within the first few plays you know you have something special on your hands. Their skills jump out at you and often they just have something that you cannot exactly explain.

Well when I cut on the film of Markeith Ambles, wide receiver from McDonugh, GA, it is clear that he has the "IT" factor. I would sum up Markeith as Simply Smooth. Markeith is a 6'2 185 lbs. receiver that has a unique skill set that makes him one of the best wide receivers in the country. I don't think that I have seen a receiver as tall as Markeith that has his fluidity on the field. The way he comes in and out of his breaks as well as making cuts to avoid defenders is simply effortless. Markieth has good quickness an speed that allows him to create separation from defenders.

What jumps out the most to me about Markeith is his sneaky ability to lull defenders to sleep with the fact that he does not appear very fast. His exceptional route running gives me the indication that he will get playing time early. He knows how to get open and has excellent catching skills. Markeith also does a great job when it comes to blocking, his long frame, with added weight, will be a force in the running game. The University of Tennessee got a great find in Markeith Ambles.
