Bottom Line
Physically, Fowler has everything you need– from speed, to agility, to strength, and power. That motor of his is special too, as he does everything 1,000 miles an hour from snap to whistle. But sometimes that 1,000 miles an hour is a detriment to him as he is still pretty raw.
But a good coach will slow him down just enough to see what’s in front of him so he can make plays. The real bottom line is this kid doesn’t stay blocked, so you can teach him everything else. And after watching him catch up to his defensive back on a fumble return, I’ll be watching for him at the combine when the 40s are up.
