Best I watched: All-Star Offense

I’ve listed by best of the best for seemingly every position group: offensive linemen, Quarterbacks, Running Backs, Receivers, and Defense. Now, I’ll list the All-Star team for all performances I watched all season. <strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Quarterbacks</span></strong> <strong>QB1 - [player_tooltip player_id="30316" first="Dante" last="Moore"]</strong> <strong>QB2 - [player_tooltip player_id="54861" first="Zak" last="Ahern"]</strong> After a long ponder, these are the 2 QB’s on my All-Star team. [player_tooltip player_id="30316" first="Dante" last="Moore"] was a no-brainer, as he’s the consensus best QB in the State, and a top-10 QB in the nation. He’ll be able to lead the offense well with his elite leadership. [player_tooltip player_id="54861" first="Zak" last="Ahern"] lived up to the hype and then some. He was one of those players that had some buzz around him heading into the 2021 season, and lucky for me, he was just a short drive away. He was always calm in the pocket and read every defense well. He was also incredibly consistent throughout the season. His confidence never wavered, and he was a leader. <strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Running Backs</span></strong> <strong>RB1 - [player_tooltip player_id="30201" first="Elijah" last="Jackson-Anderson"]</strong> <strong>Power Back - [player_tooltip player_id="159621" first="Tim" last="Kloska"]</strong> I chucked to myself, writing these two names down. I mean, imagine [player_tooltip player_id="30201" first="Elijah" last="Jackson-Anderson"] and [player_tooltip player_id="159621" first="Tim" last="Kloska"] on the same team. These are two very different but equally elite running backs. Jackson-Anderson can deal damage on 1st and 2nd down, making guys miss with his twitchiness and speed. Down at the goal line and with short-yardage situations, you have Kloska, who’s a monster in the weight room and will bowl you over. This hypothetical duo reminds me of D’Andre Swift and Jammal Willaims for the Lions. <strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Receivers</span></strong> <strong>WR - <a class="uni-link--implied" href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/12798261">[player_tooltip player_id="30160" first="Jeremiah" last="Caldwell"]</a></strong> <strong>WR - [player_tooltip player_id="30211" first="Tommy" last="McIntosh"]</strong> <strong>Slot - [player_tooltip player_id="232201" first="Alex" last="McLean"]</strong> <strong>TE - [player_tooltip player_id="248962" first="Brady" last="Prieskorn"]</strong> Caldwell is Calvin Johnson, McIntosh is Mike Evans, McLean is Cooper Kupp, and Prieskorn is TJ Hockenson. All of these players played just like their NFL counterparts in 2021, and any two paired up on the same team would be unstoppable. Caldwell is a freak of nature and is likely to have a lucrative college career. He’s big, strong, can outmuscle you, and outrun you. Adams made a mistake playing man coverage against Caldwell, and he made them pay with over 200 receiving yards. McIntosh reminds me of Mike Evans just by his size and strength. Both are big receivers who can go up and get balls but are used well in the middle of the field. The Wisconsin Commit is not done yet, and I fully expect to see him on the field in the next few years. McLean was a unique deep threat for Rockford this season, catching long balls while doing work after the catch. He can run any route in the route tree and truly knows how to get open. He’s much like Cooper Kupp in those aspects. He will be a game-changer for Rockford next season, and he was one of the best receivers I watched all season. <strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Linemen</span></strong> <strong>LT - [player_tooltip player_id="154344" first="Kyle" last="Kloska"]</strong> <strong>LG - <a class="uni-link--implied" href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/10662390">[player_tooltip player_id="30157" first="Ja’Kobe" last="Watkins"]</a></strong> <strong>C - <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/11259707/William-J-Smith-III">Will Smith III</a></strong> <strong>RG - <a class="uni-link--implied" href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/13190183">[player_tooltip player_id="30317" first="Johnathan" last="Slack"]</a></strong> <strong>RT - [player_tooltip player_id="99366" first="Andy" last="Hartman"]</strong> Putting it simply, this offensive line would dominate any defensive line in the state. I don’t care who this line is going up against, any front 7 can get ready to never lay a finger on the QB. The Tackle positions are headlined by Saginaw Valley Commit [player_tooltip player_id="154344" first="Kyle" last="Kloska"] and Michigan State Commit [player_tooltip player_id="99366" first="Andy" last="Hartman"]. Kloska is a monster in the weight room and is one of the strongest linemen in the state, while Hartman is smart, a natural leader, insanely competitive, and of course, dominant in every fashion. The Guard positions are Belleville’s own [player_tooltip player_id="30157" first="Ja’Kobe" last="Watkins"] and Detroit MLK’s [player_tooltip player_id="30317" first="Johnathan" last="Slack"]. Watkins, a Southeast Missouri State commit, is a beast of a guard at 6’3” 290lbs. He can block, pull, and get to the second level. He’s an amazing player that is an incredible steal for the Redhawks. Now, [player_tooltip player_id="30317" first="Johnathan" last="Slack"] was noted in many publications this past season. He’s likely to be going to Michigan State, where he’ll surely thrive. Finally, at the Center Position, we have Will Smith. He’s a true center that plays hard, fast, and strong. He’s a big lineman at 6’4” 260lbs and dominated the competition.
