Brown is loose-hipped and runs with a no-effort gait. He brings turbocharged acceleration to hit his top speed quickly and employs a slashing, downhill style to slalom through the line and into the second level. He’s deceptively fast in space, with long strides that cover a lot of ground, allowing him to cut away from defenders and access holes that might not be there for slower-to-react backs. He’s a powerful runner who rips through arm tackles and whose quick-twitch movement skills help him avoid direct hits. He consistently churns his legs through contact and falls forward for extra yards. He’s slippery when contacted, and he shows instincts for getting himself over the line to gain. He’s best going north to south, but when he cuts outside, he can access the corner and beat defenders to the edge.
Outlaw is a versatile defender who wears a lot of different hats for the defense. He’s an awesome blitzer who flies off the edge with incredible speed, and whether he’s chasing down a run or pursuing a pass catcher, he closes the gap in a blink. He anticipates screens and blows up blocks to throw off the timing and get to the ball. His length shows up with a wide tackle radius and he’s a reliable finisher who hits like bricks. He brings the speed to carry a tight end up the seam and he rakes at opponents’ hands and arms at the catch point. Outlaw is never content to make it easy for a pass-catcher to reel it in. He shows good vision to play the run in the box and always keeps his eyes on the prize. He’s aggressive taking on blocks and strings out runs to stop a play or buy time for his teammates to rally.
Highlights
Marquez Daniel

Daniel’s quickness is one of the foundations of his game, and he leans on it as a route runner and run-after-the-catch creator. He uses slick footwork and hand swipes to get off the line and is sudden at the top of his route, creating separation with sharp cuts and agile change of direction. He’ll put opposing corners in a blender with head and shoulder fakes and leaves opponents in the dust on whip routes. He’s a good deep threat with the speed to run past defenders and a knack for tracking the ball over his shoulder. He’s confident in his hands and is tough at the catch point. He’s a creator after the catch, regularly making the first man miss or spinning and churning his feet to break tackle attempts and stay on his feet.

He shows good range to run sideline to sideline chasing down running backs or ball-carriers. He’s a good tackler with legit stopping power. He stacks and sheds against the run; showing upper body torque to take on and defeat blocks. He has solid vision and awareness at the second level, scanning the backfield and tracking where the run is going. He brings good closing speed and plays with an aggressive downhill style, always looking to dislodge the ball from the ball-carrier. He showed instincts in zone drops, identifying routes and anticipating throws.
Morgan is quick off the line and shows first-step burst and enough wiggle to avoid and beat press coverage. He runs routes with little wasted movement, working his hands in concert with his feet to defeat physical coverage, and can use shoulder leans and head fakes to sell routes and create space in his cuts. He eats up ground with his vertical stem then snaps off out and dig routes. He brings buildup speed to run past and then away from defenders, using long strides to run under deep passes. He shows good ball-tracking skills and awareness of the sideline to make catches inbounds. He’s a back-shoulder playmaker with the flexibility and reactive quickness to snare off-target throws. He flashed the concentration and strength to win at the catch point.
