PRZ “STOCK UP” TOP RUNNING BACK PERFORMERS

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The running back position is a cog in any offensive system be it running the ball to control the clock or pass protection for the quarterback. This year's Stock Up camp featured a few standouts at the position who impressed the coaches and scouts in attendance. Let's look at a few of the athletes who competed well and excelled in drills.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1143838,"width":"328px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/01/46-Flander-Malone-crop-3437x2257-1704933411.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-1143838" style="width:328px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='409055' first='Flander' last='Malone'] (5'10 185) was the MVP of the running back group for this year's camp. Malone displayed exceptional feet in cone drills combined with vision, displaying his attention to detail in making split-second decisions. Malone also excelled in blocking drills with his ability to drop his hips, properly shoot his hands, and adjust to his opponent's movements with leverage. The 40-yard dash and 5/10/5 drills were also shining moments for Malone that led to him separating himself as the top running back at this year's Stock Up camp in Fort Worth, Texas. Congratulations to mFlander Malone and a job well done and an amazing camp showing. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1143845,"width":"328px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/01/1-Mason-Bean-crop-3953x2596-1704933796.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-1143845" style="width:328px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='979812' first='Mason' last='Bean'] (5'8 175) is a shifty and sneaky quick running back who tested well in all skill drills during the evening session. The Booker T Washington product showed great flexibility and agility in a number of individual drills. Mason's burst off of the last cone arguably was his best attribute when summarizing his body of work for the evening. His ability to move quickly lateraly from a crouched position spoke volumes about his potential. Additionally, Bean's creativity in putting together combo moves after receiving the ball gave an indication of what the young back will offer up next season on Friday nights. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1143855,"width":"332px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/01/42-Abram-Graham-crop-3738x2454-1704934104.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-1143855" style="width:332px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1140045' first='Abram' last='Graham'] (5'9 170) faired well and displayed a consistent work ethic all day that proved to be eye catching. This kid is a work horse and a ball of effort. Graham's level of aggressiveness in every drill was a pleasant surprise along with his strong frame. Coaches raved about Graham's attention to detail and ability to adjust to new concepts. Graham also put his pass catching on display and showed that he can be the dual package back that today's game calls for in the passing game. These attributes landed [player_tooltip player_id='1140045' first='Abram' last='Graham'] as one of the camp's top performers for the 2024 Stock Up camp.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1143857,"width":"332px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/01/39-Spencer-Taylor-crop-3718x2441-1704934230.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-1143857" style="width:332px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Spencer Taylor (5'5 135) was a gitter bug of an athlete at the camp. Taylor had above average quickness and burst. Combined with his ability to catch the flair route and reverse field, Taylor made a name for himself amongst coaching conversation. Built low to the ground and able to play underneath his opponents, Taylor was able to create space in one on ones and secure the win on most of his reps. Taylor showed very good uppper and lower body flexibility along with tremendous competitiveness. Congradulations to Spencer taylor for being selected as a top performer at the running back position for the 2024 Stock Up camp.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
