He possesses good foot speed to outrun defenders to the sideline and quickly get upfield. With good contact balance, leg drive, and body control, he is able to absorb contact and gain positive yardage. Walker showcases a quick first step, allowing him to burst through tackles, and he demonstrates good post-snap vision when identifying running lanes. He displays patience behind the LOS as he follows his blockers. As a receiver, his route tree is extensive compared to others, and he's able to get upfield quickly after the catch, becoming a YAC threat.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Note – 3.8 GPA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/JaVionWalker08/status/1886088607313564023","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JaVionWalker08/status/1886088607313564023 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["789982"],"_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-67d98c6d82ea7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='789982' first='Micah' last='Gamble'] had an impressive 2024 season and has been dominating the off-season process, racking up offers from Minnesota and North Texas.

Post-snap, he showcases the patience required to let running lanes develop and displays a good burst when attacking the hole.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Note - 3.8 GPA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/MicahGamble24/status/1897054875906949625","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/MicahGamble24/status/1897054875906949625 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1324011"],"_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-67d98c6d82f00"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1324011' first='Latrell' last='Conley'] is a running back who I expect to have a breakout season in 2025. Conley ranks number 12 in his position. His running style is ideal for Pro-Style, Option, and West Coast offenses. He is a north-south, physical running back with solid foot speed, lower-body power, and active feet. His upper and lower body strength enables him to consistently break tackles with his leg drive. His good contact balance allows him to withstand contact, while his vision and patience help him follow blockers and locate openings. Conley demonstrates effective multi-cut ability and a good burst that helps him separate from defenders at the first level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Note – 4.78</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Agentt_7","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Agentt_7 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1277780"],"_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-67d98c6d82f59"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1277780' first='Bryshun' last='Cunningham'] is a running back prospect I expect to break out in 2025.
