Jochen Graf

What Scouts Say: "Busy bee forward ... Hardest worker you'll see ... Just continues to work and often times would create goals by pressing teams into mistakes or would be a scrapper that would find a knockdown in the box ... Extremely high workload ... Soccer IQ fairly low ... Technically fairly low compared to most of the top players I've seen ... Decent athletically but not great, above average ... A worker and competitor ... Scrappy with decent size ... Didn't play some because of a quad injury and had to play for 20 minutes at a time. He's now fully healed up ... He's very, very mature and a very strong player ... Had he had a full season to show for, I think his stats would have been in his favor. His stats don't exist."
