<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We're heading to the heart of Indiana today to highlight a group of productive and underrated defensive playmakers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1707066"],"_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-686ff3936e048"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kincaide is a decent athlete who stepped in and started last year, and you could see him get a better feel for the game as the season went on. He's got good vision when working through traffic and takes smart angles to the ball, which helps him stay in position and avoid getting washed out. He finished with 62 tackles, 2.5 TFLs, and forced 3 fumbles, showing he's not just getting there but also making things happen when he does. I like how he plays under control and think he's set up to keep trending in the right direction.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1707068"],"_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-686ff3936e0a9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ison started last year and was impressive from the jump. He's a good athlete in space, can come down and tackle, and really stands out in coverage. He can play man or zone without any drop-off and has the speed to stick with receivers on the outside. He finished with 63 tackles in his first year, showing he's not afraid to get involved and clean things up. I like how comfortable he looks moving around, and think he's got all the tools to keep climbing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1707070"],"_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-686ff3936e0f4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Walters is a true versatile piece who can line up at linebacker or drop back and play in the secondary. He's that hybrid type you love to have because he brings speed to handle the third level and enough physicality to mix it up in the second level. He's got good ball skills too, finishing last year with 60 tackles, 4 interceptions, and 3 PBUs. He plays fast, trusts his reads, and doesn't shy away from contact. I think he's the kind of guy you can move around and just let him go make plays.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1707071"],"_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-686ff3936e13c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Roberts plays like his hair is on fire every snap. He brings a sense of urgency and nonstop hustle that jumps off the screen. He's got a knack for getting off blocks and knows how to slip under bigger linemen to find his way into the play. He finished his first year starting with 57 tackles, 2 TFLs, and a fumble recovery, showing he can stay active and clean things up. I love the energy he plays with and think that motor is going to carry him a long way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1707072"],"_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-686ff3936e181"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dickerson is a big, physical linebacker who I could easily see sliding down and developing into an edge rusher down the road. He's got the length and size you want out there, along with a good burst off the ball that helps him win early. His hands are strong and he knows how to use them to shed blocks and keep himself clean. He wraps up well on solo tackles and has a knack for getting the ball out when he gets there. He finished the year with 55 tackles, 7 TFLs, and an interception. I like his upside a lot and think his versatility will open doors for him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
