He ran for 190 yards and was able to get to the outside and use his speed to outrun defenders to the endzone. He has great vision and the patients to allow blocks to develop and run behind his line.

He can use his vision to bounce the ball to the outside and he was able to find the hole and create explosive plays for the offense. He was able to find the endzone 1 time and was averaging almost 8 yards a carry while rushing for 185 yards. Will be a player to keep on the radar moving forward.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["251269"],"_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":"Sharpe was able to break out for his biggest rushing game of the year with 171 yards and was able to punch the ball in twice. His team had a day as the backfield combined for 460 yards on the day and he was the leading rusher. He is explosive and can run through defenders.

He was able to break out with a 200+ yard game last week and then followed that up with a 172 yard rushing game on Saturday. He is explosive and has been able to use his vision to find the hole and get north and south. He can break through the arm tackles and can be hard to bring down at times.
