IPS Take On Chase Hattley: At 6-3, 205 pounds Hattley brings a college-ready frame to the game. I think he compares well physically to Germaine Pratt although he’s probably about 10 pounds heavier at this point in his career.
Hattley has good straight line speed and above average ball skills and athleticism. He isn’t a flashy player, but what I really like is he seems to have a nose for the ball and a knack for being in the right place at the right time.
He isn’t a knockout artist when it comes to tackling but he plays physical and doesn’t shy away from contact.
