I am absolutely HYPED over Andre Iosivas

Free releases and running straight through coverage on clear out routes and as you mentioned because rhe ball wasn't throw his way we didn't get to see him track and catch a ball over his shoulder. Yesterday had 2 really good scouting reps for Yoshi both sideline. One was the back shoulder against man coverage and the other was the body catch that got jarred loose with the hit.

Being physical at the catch point and making catches through contact were two of Iosivas' biggest question marks coming out of Ivy League FCS. 

For me, the big issue is Yoshi isn't a natural hands catcher and that really hurts him in contested situations.  He's more of a body catcher, and in the NFL, DB's can easily get that ball out of they're in position.  I know he bought a personal jugs machine in college, but it's still an issue.  It reminds me a lot of Cody Core.  He's got the size and speed you want, but the lack of hands is always going to mean you don't want him seeing a ton of targets.
