When rushing the passer, he plays with good pad level and overall lean to win with leverage. Camerlain is at his best rushing when he attacks the outside shoulder of tackles and opens them up with good strength and hand usage. Against the run, he showcases solid ability to set the edge and play with excellent gap discipline. Very good athlete and he possesses ideal range in pursuit. His versatility is quite impressive with the ability to slide inside and play the 5-tech.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["552619"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='552619' first='Ayo' last='Abijo'] displays amazing effort and the competitive toughness pops off the tape immediately. He shows twitchy upper body movement with nice flexibility in the lower half. This makes it difficult for OL to get hands into his chest and he is a slippery pass rusher overall. Versus the run, he is a disciplined defender and stays square with a good understanding of how to constrict run lanes. Abijo uses his hands to create space and has the burst to close quickly.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["149291"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='149291' first='Keilyn' last='Smith'] is a prototypical 3-tech with the size and explosiveness needed at the position. His 1st step burst is unbelievable and makes guards lives miserable on the field. Smith is a good speed to power rusher, and he bullies OL with strength and length. Great speed in pursuit versus the run and the pass with the effort you'd like to see from an offensive lineman. Against the run, he is a penetrative 1 gap type of player that lives in opponent's backfields.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["480795"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='480795' first='Domani' last='White'] is the ultimate Swiss army knife that can lineup all across the DL with some LB versatility. He plays like a missile, flying around the field with superb hustle. Good quick twitch and overall athletic ability, White is an amazing play maker on multiple levels of defense. Against the pass, he shows good pass rushing ability using shoulder dips to reduce surface area and has some ability to drop in coverage. He shows very good awareness vs the run and processes run concepts at a high level.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["207303"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='207303' first='B.J.' last='Peter'] is a beast on the inside that can align from the nose tackle to the 5-tech. He plays with high effort and is a good athlete for his size. Versus the run, Peter is technically sound, disciplined, and uses his hands well to stack and shed while staying square. Watching the film, he is quite aggressive when rushing the passer with active hands and powerful punches. Good versatility to 1 gap or 2 gap, he can win in a multitude of ways.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-649da1d3a41ae"} /-->
