Diaz displayed good speed, fluidity, and athleticism from the backfield and solid post-snap vision to read first-level defenders and locate the running lane. He showcased a multi-cut ability with an impressive burst to break away from the second level. He has good COD, lateral agility, and footwork. Attacks with good leg drive, balance, and acceleration through contact to gain additional yards, along with the strength of the upper and lower body to break tackles consistently.

Last week, he went for 10 carries, 89 yards (8.9YPC), and 2 receptions for 14 yards. Laster displays good foot quickness, acceleration, and burst to separate from the first level or beat the defenders to the sideline and get upfield. He gains extra yards with his solid leg drive, balance, and lower body power to withstand contact or break-through arm tackles.   Note - Multi Position Athlete   <a href="https://twitter.com/zaenextup7">https://twitter.com/zaenextup7</a>     The running backs in the natural state were on display last week as [player_tooltip player_id='1283877' first='Enoch' last='Assan'] rushed for 259 yards on 26 carries (9.9 YPC) and 3 touchdowns. Assan is an athletic running back with impressive power. He displays a quick first step with good vision to read the defensive front and find the running lane quickly with good acceleration. He has the ability to create against early penetration due to good lateral agility, COD, and burst. When he plants off his back foot, he explodes through the hole, displaying his impressive burst. Good balance and leg drive with active feet to break tackles or make second-level defenders miss with his ability to elude.   Note – 4.0 GPA   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/EnochAssan7/status/1829927946351755717 </div></figure>     [player_tooltip player_id='1340841' first='Kai' last='Cambron'] excels on both sides of the trenches, excelling as a two-gap penetrator on the defensive side of the ball. Offensively, he displays solid initial quickness off the snap, allowing himself to create inside leverage on base and combo blocks. He displaces defenders due to good hand placement, pad level, lower body strength, and active feet, creating running lanes. Off the combo, he can consistently reach play-side linebacker and pancake that defender. Defensively, he demonstrates a knack for quickly and effectively penetrating gaps and making plays in the backfield or at the LOS. He can pressure the pocket with his strong bull rush, leveraging his good lower body strength and length. He displays a relentless motor, playing with full intensity from sideline to sideline until the whistle.

Robinson displayed a sideline-to-sideline motor last week, making an impressive tackle in space in front of the goal line. His ability to tackle in space is critical in the secondary due to his good angles, technique, and physicality.
