Last year he played as a running back and as a wide receiver. At both positions, he showed good athletic ability and speed. At both positions, he can score anytime he touches the ball. As a running back he shows a physical running style. When he hits the hole, he is hard to bring down and then when he gets into the open field, he is off to the races. As a wide receiver, he showed he can catch the ball and make defenders miss in space. Porter is a terrific football player who has all the skills to play at a high level.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-662ef2313ff74"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1155899"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1155899' first='Sean' last='Franklin'] is a massive offensive lineman for Mars. He stands 6'5 inches tall and weighs 300 pounds. He moves well for an offensive lineman who is that big. He several times in his film shows he can run out and block in open space. In the run game, he is a big-time mauler who dominates defensive linemen in the trenches. As a pass blocker, he moves his feet well and stays in front of defenders. He can get a little stiff, but with more playing time he should get better at that. Franklin is a good offensive lineman prospect.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-662ef2313ffd6"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1155881"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1155881' first='Ethan' last='Kresinski'] is an intriguing offensive weapon at tight end. He does a great job blocking at tight end in a variety of roles. He was used as an in-line blocker at tight end and as a blocker off the ball. He did a nice job going in motion and lead-blocking in the run game. Kresinski is also a weapon in the passing game. He did a nice job running routes and catching the ball. He did a really good job on seam routes sneaking out down the middle of the field and catching the ball. He was even used in the run game as a lead blocker and occasional runner. Kresinski is a talented player and an offensive weapon.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-662ef2314004e"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["647402"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='647402' first='Adam' last='Budzilek'] is a good lineman prospect on both sides of the ball.

He does an excellent job of reading his keys, and then triggering downhill to make plays. He is a good tackler, who rarely misses a tackle. Anderson does a good job of getting off blocks and then making plays against the offense. Anderson is a physical player who makes plays all over the field. He does a good job running sideline-to-sideline to make plays. Anderson is a good linebacker, and I am excited to see him play next yearu0022.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-662f9b021281b"} /-->
