As a pass rusher, Herring is fluid and natural. He wins with an explosive first step and the flexibility to flatten and turn corners to the quarterback. Although he can occasionally win one-on-one matchups on the edge, he is best utilized on stunts and blitzes, bulldozing unsuspecting blockers.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["316782"],"_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":"Hard-working linebacker who was a tackling machine.
