With their QB graduating this year, there are some big shoes to fill. However, these four players are set and ready to take this team to the next level.
Starting off the list is an elite running back in Romadon Adams Romadon Adams 5’11” | 180 lbs | RB Paterson Eastside | 2024 NJ . Romadon is the kind of player you need to just give the ball to and let him work his magic. There are many attributes that Romadon displays that makes him lethal coming out of the backfield. For one, he has great vision and ability to see the field playout. With quick cutting and the drive to fight for every inch, Romadon gets out of scenarios that would bring the typical running back to the ground. Not only is Romadon a great runner, but he can hurt a defense through the pass game as well. It is hard to keep a tab on him on the field, and harder to catch him once he starts sprinting.
Jamar Robinson Jamar Robinson 5’7″ | 150 lbs | WR Eastside Highschool Paterson Nj | 2025 NJ is a receiver that I believe is just getting started. While he didn’t light up the scoreboard in 2022, I think big things are coming for this shifty slot receiver. Jamar has some great characteristics for his position. He will most likely make the biggest impact in the shorter route game, as he has great agility and the ability to dig his foot into the ground and change directions seamlessly. Once the ball is in Jamar’s hands he will be able to use his skills to carve through traffic and sprint for pay dirt.
Right off the bat, Nyreek is one of my favorite defensive linemen to look out for in 2023. It is hard to believe he is a defensive end with the type of speed he brings to the table. He is extremely quick off of the ball and can blow up a play before it even develops. Runners wills have a hard time getting to the outside because he will be there waiting for them.
Passing his direction is no easy task either. Nyreek can bring the receiver down to the ground quickly, get his hands up and swat it away, or intercept it and run the opposite direction. As a pass rusher, Nyreek drives his shoulder into the tackle and collapses the pocket in on the QB. Look for him to have a huge impact on the field in 2023.
Nehemiah Green

Lining up opposite of Nyreek, Nehemiah and Nyreek deliver a punishing 1-2 punch at the defensive end position. This tandem will reek havoc on QBs in 2023, forcing them to make poor decisions and setting up their DBs for successful situations.
Another defensive lineman with a very long reach, Nehemiah is able to use his arms to drive into the chest of the blocker and stand them up. He is a playmaker with a lot of hustle, and will use his reach to swat at the ball and go for the strip. QB’s better be aware of how much time they’re spending in the pocket because before long they’ll be getting swallowed up in the backfield. Nehemiah is another elite defensive end that gives Paterson East side a very strong defensive unit.
