Tomislav Zadro

COACHES' BREAKDOWN: In terms of pure skill, Wisconsin's Bosnian-born Canadian midfielder is one of the best players on display at the Combine. Despite standing at 6-foot-3, Zadro is a true playmaker, and can create magic with his left foot either with his passing or off the dribble. Zadro is absolutely lethal on set pieces, and if he gets into a 1-v-1 situation with a defender out wide, good luck to the defender, because he doesn't need much space to make him look silly. He's not afraid to shoot the ball from anywhere inside the final third, and he can get some power behind it, but one of Zadro's most impressive qualities is his almost cerebral approach to the game. In terms of soccer IQ, the Canadian is ready for the next level. But he will need every ounce of his skill and savvy to overcome his athletic limitations. Zadro has enough pace to change gears over short distances and beat one guy, but over any longer distance is relatively slow, decreasing his appeal as a winger. Concerns have also been raised about his strength and whether or not he won't be knocked around in a physical league like MLS, and despite all the accolades that his left foot draws, Zadro doesn't combine it with anything remotely close on his right side. He'll be most effective in a system where he can function as a quarterback for the offense, but the question is whether his skill outweighs his athletic shortcomings enough to merit that type of role.
