Luke Price Areas for ImprovementLuke lacks the experience. He is a raw prospect. He needs to improve his route stem. He also has to improve his run after the catch ability. He has solid change of direction, but needs to be more crisp in his cuts. He needs to improve his vision, to see the gaps that may be vulnerable to rushers. He is a smart player but will need to understand his position better to be elite not just average.
