Treinadores da Navy elogiam as mãos habilidosas de Eli Heidenreich para o Steelers

A escolha de sétima rodada do Draft do Pittsburgh Steelers, Eli Heidenreich, traz mãos excepcionais e versatilidade para a NFL após brilhar na Naval Academy. Os treinadores da Navy, Drew Cronic e David Cole, destacaram sua habilidade de realizar recepções contestadas como uma característica marcante. Heidenreich estabeleceu o recorde histórico de recepções da Navy, além de acumular mais de 1.100 jardas terrestres.

O coordenador ofensivo da Navy, Drew Cronic, e o treinador de posição David Cole falaram ao Steelers Depot sobre os pontos fortes de Heidenreich. Eles enfatizaram sua pegada poderosa e habilidades com a bola, que o ajudaram a se destacar em uma função híbrida conhecida como 'snipe' na Naval Academy. Cole observou que Heidenreich tem mãos muito boas e consegue rastrear a bola tão bem quanto qualquer outro, enquanto Cronic acrescentou que as mãos dele são as mais fortes que ele já viu em qualquer jogador que treinou.
