Arlen Harris’ Backfield Bullies Vol. 14: New England (10/7/24)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>New England has a plethora of running backs to know in this 2029 Class. All types of skills, from the power back, all-purpose athlete, all the way on down to the lean shifty speedster. Let's take a look at the different bodies of work and what makes them individually talented to be considered a bully in a positive way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1515776"],"_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-66fe99cfa1274"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>State: </strong>Connecticut</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gaspar can give you nine reasons why he's a back to know in this class. #1 He is a high IQ player with durability and stamina. Jackson is also a dual sport stud (football, lacrosse) who knows how to score. After a hand off he runs with a natural lean and has powerful legs to drive through contact. If not stimied early, he can take it the distance. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1515781"],"_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-66fe99cfa12e2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>State: </strong>Massachusetts</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Magalhaes is a big back with bigger ability. He is what you consider a business decision once he's through the line of scrimmage. His contact balance is insane. Game for game, he doesn't need many touches because his yards per carry are freakish. I like his no quit attitude and his body is more mature than most at this level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1370373"],"_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-66fe99cfa1326"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>State: </strong>Massachusetts</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Long athlete who is affective at multiple positions on the offensive side of the ball. Key point is just to get the ball into his hands. Charlie's long stride eats up yardage quickly and he is agile in the open field. Don't blink or you will miss a short down turn into an explosive play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1515850"],"_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-66fe99cfa1365"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>State: </strong>Connecticut</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jacari is a great mix of power, quickness, and balance. He has prime meat slabs for legs that keeps him moving the pile or better yet, cut around, or through willing tacklers. My guy runs the ball with confidence and consistency tallies up yacs (yards after contact). His stiff arm is brutal and he does not stop his feet on collisions. Most of the time he's that hammer hitting the nail.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1311093"],"_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-66fe9fa4a438d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>State: </strong>Massachusetts</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another Lax bro who can get it done on the gridiron as well. Rhett has great acceleration and doesn't waste much energy when he runs. Smooth cuts, patience run reads, all play a huge part in his vision as he weaves through traffic. He is a pure athlete who competes as soon as he walks on any field. High up side this one has.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
