Player Summary:

A former wideout and track athlete in high school, competed in 100, 200, 4×100 and 4×400 meter relays. Micah Abraham possesses overall decent height & frame for position. He shows good match/mirror ability in both Man & Zone, shows good hips & foot speed to transition well in Man, and gets good depth and plays with good instincts in Zone. Possesses very good speed to run hip to hip with most receivers downfield. Has good transition quickness when planting and breaking on the ball. Displays good ball skills in coverage, possesses good hands to create turnovers as well as good timing to get hand in PBU opportunities. And shows overall good leverage ability vs run, takes good angles to the ball carrier. Uses marginal press technique at LOS, jam tends to be wild and lazy and overall ineffective. Shows adequate Route Rec ability in Man & Zone, plays impatient at release points and tends to bite on head and shoulder faints. Marginal block shed ability in run support, really struggles to disengage and often gets taken out of play. Adequate tackling ability in open space, struggles to wrap and finish tackles.

Scheme Fit:

Cover 3 scheme early, can develop and excel in a Cover 1-2 Man scheme down the line.

Power Statement:

Micah Abraham shows good traits and abilities to be a good player at the next level but needs to improve in some key areas to find success, which is why I see him as a bit of a project right now. Abraham could translate better in Man down the round, but with his instincts and ball skills he may perform better in a Zone scheme early on until he can clean up the technique issues he showed in Man this past year.
