What impresses me about Green is his ability to maneuver the field, showcasing his ability to juke out the defense on the run and take it all the way to the house.

What makes Weaver so impactful is his breakaway speed, his ability to slip past the defense and his ability to blast into the endzone. I also like how Weaver can get open for the long pass and push off the defense in coverage. Weaver also showcased his ability to dive for the touchdown pass.rnrnu0026nbsp;rnrnu003ca href=u0022http://www.hudl.com/v/2MYNLDu0022u003eTape:u003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-660d8ec3bf199"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["409027"],"_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":"Another skilled prospect to watch for is [player_tooltip player_id='409027' first='Carlo' last='Chicko'], a wide receiver at Lawrence County High School.
