Well, yes it’s an adjective overly used to express the type of player they are, but it also embodies their skill level that can be utilized in multiple positions. Being scouted as an athlete is low key a flex because you cannot be placed in one box. In the article below I get the opportunity to evaluated five up and coming athletes out of Pennsylvania that can very affective on the field various ways. Never leave home without your Swiss army knife!
Damian Greer Offense: RB/WR
-
- Sneaky fast. Long strides eat up ground. Also a return threat.
Catches ball away from body. Shifty and quick is a lethal combination. Nightmare in the screen game, especially when guarded by a bigger body.
Defense: DBPlays fast with his feet and eyes. Attacks defender and ball when in air. Either way he’s coming down with it.
Benjamin Nye Offense: RB
-
- Decent Speed, agility, vision
Threat to take it the distance and understands pursuit angles. Put a lot of long runs and touchdowns on film from multiple sets. Lines up behind the QB, or in the wing to keep defenses honest. Blocks well.
Defense: OLB that Tackles in open space well. Uses hands when engaged to redirect the football or bait them in for a tackle at the point of contact.
Highlights

Dontae LewisOffense: RB/WR

- Can pull away quickly and doesn’t go down without a fight
Passionate player with a high competitive nature. Shows off in space and makes good decisions with the football. Better find out where he is on the field because he lives at the second level.

Dylan LaGoreOffense: FB
- Big physical blocker/ball carrier with attitude.
Understands how to leverage his massive frame to push the pile or make smaller defenders shoot for shoelaces. Not just short yardage back. Can surprise you by getting outside and the sideline is not your friend.
Defense: DLPlays through blockers with solid get off. Puts a lot of pressure on the backfield exchange and QBs don’t have all day to throw the ball when he’s lined up inside.
