Eyes stay up field and has a nice feel for the game. Knee drive is accompanied by elite balance. When watching him make something out of nothing, I cannot help but wonder if he has trainer to help him climb the ladder on defenses to change their angles or if this just comes natural. He mostly went up against four down fronts and lined up mostly in shotguns pistol formations. It was fun watching him truck tacklers near the sideline, make linebackers go base and leave them frozen in time.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1177844"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"At 6-foot and 180 pounds Gordon is as quick as a scat back in close proximity, breaks as many tackles as a power back and can run away from the defense like all elite complete backs can.
