His speed allows him to pull and lead the way to the second level, creating running lanes for his backs. In pass protection, his aggressive style shines as he gets his hands on defenders and refuses to give up ground.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["632448"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66c4d35094e54"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Emmonds has earned a reputation for his physicality and dominance. With a knack for putting his opponents on their backs, he consistently sets the tone in the trenches. His speed enables him to pull and lead the charge in the running game. When it comes to pass pro, he is a stone wall, stifling the pass rush and providing his QB with a secure pocket. He will be a powerhouse that you will need to know moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["405809"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66c4d35094e95"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">At 6'5 and 310 pounds, Johnson is a formidable presence on the OL. Despite his size, Johnson moves exceptionally well, staying in front of defenders and using his power to throw them to the ground. His strong punch in pass pro is his signature move, consistently throwing pass rushers off balance and maintaining a clean pocket. His combination of size and strength make him a must know player this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1181903"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66c4d35094ed1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ceschin is a player that excels in pass protection, consistently keeping a clean pocket and giving his QB the time needed to make plays. In the running game, Ceschin's strength allows him to create running lanes, overpowering defenders with ease. His ability to dominate in both facets of the game make him a stock-riser that you will need to add to the radar this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1329867"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66c4d35094f0b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brown is a player that is known for his ability to take on the top DL and hold his own, often putting them on their backs. His quick feet and excellent hand placement allow him to create running lanes and stay in front of quicker pass rushers. Brown's strength and technique make him a reliable protector in the passing game, as he is able to keep the QB's jersey clean. He is a player that rises to the occasion and is someone you will need to know.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1330896"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66c4d35094f4e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">At 6'4 and 265 pounds, Warren combines size with impressive quickness, making him a versatile and effective lineman. He is a player that can pull to create running lanes or use his quickness to reach to the second level to make blocks, consistently standing out on film. His ability to make downfield blocks is a testament to his athleticism and motor. Beyond the field, Warren is a player that should be a 1st team all academic as well, showing his commitment to excellence in all areas.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

It all starts in the trenches when it comes to anything in football. If you don't have players that can dominate upfront you won't be a successful team. These are the players that I think will be able to turn heads and will be some beasts in the trenches.
