He has a habit of making the first defender miss and is someone who will move the sticks. He shows great vision being able to follow his blocks and explode onto the second level, turning short gains into explosive plays for the offense. He shows the ability to catch out of the backfield and make things happen in space. Will be a player to keep an eye on as he will continue to split carries in a passing offense.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["404994"],"_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":"Payer isn't your traditional FB, he is a player that is able to open up some holes in the running lane and can have some explosive plays himself. When he is getting the ball, he is a reliable back that can get those short yardage gains and move the sticks. He can lower his shoulder and move the pile using his strength. At times he is able to show some explosiveness, bursting through the line and ripping a 20+ yard run. Will be a player to keep an eye on at a position that goes without praise.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["405140"],"_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":"Maleki is a taller back that also has some strength and is able to use his toughness to attack the hole. He has some quickness and is able to show this when jump cutting or bouncing the ball to the outside. He can be a threat when he gets to the second level, using his speed to outrun players and taking it the distance. He shows good vision being able to setup and follow his blocks for big gains. He will be a player to keep an eye on this year to see if he is able to make the jump.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["503796"],"_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":"Lusk is a quick shifty back that is a big play waiting to happen. He shows soft hands being able to catch the ball out of the backfield and make things happen after the catch. He has good vision and has speed, bouncing the ball to the outside and picking up extra yardage. He is difficult to bring down and has a knack for making the first defender miss. He will be a sneaky back to keep an eye on moving forward.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["455134"],"_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":"Frakes is a player that has the ability to be an explosive back when he gets into the open field. He has the speed to pull away from defenders and has the strength to pick up the short yardage as well. He has good vision for a FB as he can navigate through the line well to pick up blocks or find open holes when he is carrying the football. He shows good patience letting his blockers get good push and not running behind them too quickly. He is a threat whenever they get close to the endzone as he is an option to punch it in.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64934202a88cd"} /-->
