<p class="text-gray-700">Nieves has a good frame and overall size for the position. He's an exciting, athletic two-way player.

Nieves has good lateral quickness and utilizes that behind the line to find the opening gap, making defenders miss in open space. He showcases the speed to get to the edge and is a home run threat with the ball in his hands. Nieves shows good contact balance and is a physical runner. He is an excellent receiving back and easily catches outside of his frame and transitions well up the field. Nieves is a playmaker and a player who is good in space and creates well on his own.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Jensen has a good frame and should get near 200 lbs. He is a physical, power runner with good wiggle for his style. Jensen is a between-the-tackles runner who showcases good contact balance and does a good job churning his feet while in a pile and picks up additional yards with his strong lower half. He does a good job of powering through defenders, finds a way to fall forward and easily moves the chains, and is someone who is a good short yardage, goal line back. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Peterson should be able to gain an additional 10 lbs on his frame without limiting his skill set. He showcases good vision and the ability to get small through the first level and uses his lateral quickness to get into space. Peterson is a willing between-the-tackles runner with a good quick burst to accelerate away from the first level, work towards the edge, and has the speed to get outside. He is a well-rounded back who showcases soft hands as a receiver, easily catches outside of his frame, and is good in open space to create on his own. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Carruth is a good athlete and is a patient runner behind the line and showcases good vision and will follow his blocks and then explode once he gets into space. He has good contact balance and brings some physicality to his game. Carruth's best trait is his soft hands, he doesn't fight with the ball and he showcases his athleticism by easily catching outside his frame and transitioning upfield with no wasted movement.

<p class="text-gray-700">Curtis has been used as a space back as he excels in open space and makes defenders miss. He showcases good lateral movement and quick bursts. Curtis shows the speed to get to the edge and his best trait is his hands. He displays soft hands and is a natural in the receiving game. Curtis easily catches outside of his frame and creates after the catch. His elusiveness has made him effective in space and he should get an uptick in usage with vacated production for the 2025 season. </p>
