Tape shows a great understanding of run-play set-ups. Understands to attack holes pulling guards are attempting to pave, no much hesitation in this kid's game. Not too many Pub running backs that can win 1v1 against Reid between the tackles, the young man brings all of his momentum with him. Love the power he can generate without much of a wind-up or running start. Much of Reid's mid-season tape showcases him plugging holes, hopefully the final tape improves on showing off his versatility as a backer. Value is still to be had either way.rnrnu003c/divu003ernu003c/divu003ernu003c/divu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65c55244d3441"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["259542"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"A young man who has dominated PRZPA camps for years.
