He always falls forward and gives second effort around the goal line, churning his feet and thrashing his way through a crowd. He has been known to hurdle a dude and shows the ability to get his feet up and away from diving tacklers. He flashed an effective hesitation move to lull defenders to sleep before blowing past them and can stop-and-start quickly to avoid clogged running lanes.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1344747' first='Josh' last='Griffin']","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_weight":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Montgomery Catholic (","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Griffin is a patient runner who consistently presses the line to wait for his rush lane to open up. He plants his foot when he sees a gap, using his typewriter feet to navigate traffic and avoid getting tripped up. He's hard to bring down in space, using stiff arms and gyroscope balance to stay on his feet and pick up extra yards. He churns through contact and jukes laterally to make defenders miss in tight spaces, and he lowers his pads and drops the hammer in short-yardage and goal-line situations, showing a good nose for the end zone.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='495329' first='Terence' last='Gaines'] Jr","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_weight":"170","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Mortimer Jordan ","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Gaines Jr has lightning-quick acceleration. He shows the ability to absorb a glancing hit and spin away and regather himself to keep moving downfield. He uses typewriter feet in the hole to change direction quickly and accelerate into open creases, hurdling at the right moment to avoid defenders. On outside runs he shows the ability to pick the gap, plant his foot, and get downfield before stringing multiple moves together at the second level. His hesitation move leaves linebackers flatfooted and his smooth, gliding gait seems to surprise defenders when he shoots away from their pursuit angles. He is a hard runner for his size, consistently picking up an extra yard or two even after getting wrapped up. He's difficult to knock back at contact.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["155559"],"_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":"Childers is a slashing runner with top-tier acceleration and high-end speed. He brings a one-cut-and-go style on stretch runs to the outside, waiting for his gap to open before planting his foot and getting downhill in a blink. He's a hard charger downhill whose sudden movement gives him access to small slivers of space in the defensive line. He shows good patience to follow his blockers and wait for the hole to open up, chopping his feet quickly to pick his way through the trash. He uses a hesitation rocker step to get linebackers false-stepping before screaming right by. He does well to fall forward through contact and has a nose for the end zone.`","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65cc395c98c66"} /-->
