Weber also shows good strength and power when blocking defenders. Then in the passing game, he shows a good ability to pass block by moving his well. Weber should only get better going into next season.

He has good size and has good athleticism to play both positions. He is good at running the ball from the QB position by finding the hole and hitting it with his speed. Once he gets into the open field he is gone because he has legit speed. At linebacker, he shows good physical ability to come up field and make tackles. He is also good at chasing plays from all over the field. Smith is a great athlete who could play a lot of positions on the field.
Laimon Bates is a talented running back in the 2027 class. He has good elusiveness and speed at the running back position. He does a nice job of reading his blocks and then exploding through the hole. Then when Bates gets into the open field, he has legit speed to run by defenders. Bates also has a physical running style that is hard to bring down. Bates is a complete package at running back who should play better next season.

Jay Santos has some of the most impressive films you will see for a running back. He just lowers his shoulders and defenders go backwards. He also shows good quickness and elusiveness when he runs with the ball. Santos is a one-cut-and-go type of running back, but who also packs a physical punch. He is a talented player who with another year in the weight room should get even better.
