THE BLOCKING.
IN FOCUS.

Two knee fire-outs and one two-point sled drive give coaches specific movements to inspect. A focused first look at the blocking half of his tight end development.

From his knees. Through the finish.

Two reps show him firing from a kneeling start and finishing laid out behind the sled pad.

Estimated drop in image-space body height. This rear view cannot directly measure side-view hip extension or blocking force.

A wide base through the drive.

One rear-view rep shows Julian’s base while he drives the sled beside a teammate.

1.53–2.32×

Base-width range relative to shoulder width. Median head offset is 0.30 shoulder widths from hip center. Head position does not establish eye gaze.

Two-point drive

Window: 0.5–3.0 seconds. Median base: 1.92× shoulder width. Within-rep 5th–95th percentile range: 1.53–2.32×. Head offset: median 0.30, 95th percentile 0.47 shoulder widths. Percentiles describe frames within one rep, not athlete rankings.

How to interpret the report

  • Single-camera screen recordings at approximately 60 fps. The 0.017-second frame interval is not a guarantee of total measurement accuracy.
  • Times begin at his own first movement, not a snap cue. These are not reaction times.
  • Body height is measured in the image. Widths are body-relative ratios, affected by perspective and landmark estimation. No calibrated distance or force is measured.
  • The practice reel is not measured: Julian is too small in those wide frames to track reliably.
  • Three measured reps cannot establish repeatability across sessions. The report does not evaluate routes, releases or catches.
  • No medical clearance, recovery assessment, validated recruiting score or cross-athlete ranking is established.

Build the complete tight end evaluation

Add original practice files, route and catch footage, fixed side-view blocking reps, verified arm length and current game tape.

The measurements describe the drills. His story explains the work.

A DIFFERENT ROLE.
THE SAME COMMITMENT.

Julian’s story is about adapting: bringing a quarterback background to tight end, taking on blocking responsibilities and continuing through injury setbacks. Triad describes a team-first approach behind that transition.

Continuing through setbacks.

Triad reports that Julian has battled injuries along the way. The supplied film offers a view of his training work, without establishing current medical status or clearance. The next step is to build a complete evaluation of his blocking and receiving game.
