He has shown his explosiveness and has good vision being able to find the hole or bounce it to the outside. He is a physical back that can use his strength to break tackles. He has some good speed and has a longest run of 68 yards on the year, being able to turn on the jets and pull away from defenders.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["251272"],"_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":"Medina was one of the more explosive backs in week 2 and was able to show off his versatility in the game. He was able to break through arm tackles and turn it into big running plays, turning on the jets for a pair of touchdowns. He was able to use his vision and bounce the ball to the outside, setting up his blocks and running with power. He will be a player to keep on the radar as he will continue to build on this performance moving forward.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["547647"],"_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":"Campbell is an agile back that is able to use his vision to hit the hole and make the first defender miss. He follows his blocks well and shows a burst of speed to be able to outrun defenders at times when he gets into the open field. He is elusive getting skinny when running through the gap and being able to lower his shoulder to pick up extra yards. He has gotten more reps this past week and was able to take advantage of his opportunities.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["522704"],"_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":"Symalla was able to contribute in the passing game and was able to breakout on the ground as well. In the passing game in week 2 he was able to break one for a 34 yard touchdown, showing the versatility to catch the ball out of the backfield and make things happen after the catch. He shows good vision knowing when to bounce the ball to the outside and being able to take it to the house, turning on the jets. He will be a prospect to keep on the radar as he tries to climb the ranks.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["143646"],"_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":"Stonebraker has been turning some heads on the offensive side of the ball just with his physical running style. He has been a threat, being able to follow his blocks to the outside and picking up chunk yardage. He shows good patients with letting the play develop and bursting through the hole once it opens. At times can make the first defender miss but is a player that is hard to bring down being able to break through arm tackles.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64f7da71caeae"} /-->
