“New England Linebackers Making Tackles”:

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this piece we will preview 5 New England defenders that are making a statement this season by leading their teams in tackles after two-three weeks of play. The game of football is physical and with it comes the ability to withstand contact week in and week out. These recruits below have already determined a gritty mind set that allows them to take to the gridiron field each week and help their team to victory by lowering the boom to any offensive weapon that crosses their path. College coaches love defenders who enjoy tackling. We feel it is a special trait to lead in this category and want to expose these young men so that colleges are aware. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_632c6ed41d5e7","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["384200"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u0022McSweeny is a 6'0u0022 LB who delivers good impact when tackling.  His awareness to run pass options are visible.  He takes proper steps on snap of the ball to read the play.  Comes up fast to fill the gap once he identifies ball carrier.
