Leavitt Showcased Some Underrated Strengths in Week 1

Sam Leavitt is a remarkable runner of the football, a trait that deserves more recognition. Leavitt showcased that trait against NAU.

One of the highlight plays of the night was when Leavitt took off for 52 yards. It was an incredible play that filled the ASU stadium with a ton of energy.

On the run, Leavitt showcased top-tier acceleration and vision. He read the defense extremely well. Leavitt showed patience, yet an explosion on the run.

Leavitt's scrambling ability will lead to NFL success. There is a chance that Leavitt could enter the NFL next year, and his mobility will be a big factor.

It was exciting to watch him use it tonight, and it will be fun to see him use it in the future. It is a huge factor that ASU has in its upcoming matchups

His ability to Adjust

In the clip above, I asked Sam Leavitt about making his adjustments with the ASU Offensive-line having guys in and out of the lineup due to injury.

Leavitt gave a really good response! His maturity and great leadership were on display as he praised the ASU depth.

As the season goes on, bumps and hurdles are going to happen. That is how life and sports goes, so the ability that Leavitt has to adjust is very impressive! It is a trait that will carry him far in his football career and life overall!

In conclusion, Leavitt showed a lot of great traits in Week 1, that will carry over to the rest of the year.
