He is a player to watch out for throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1525124' first='Caden' last='Whitaker']-Running Back-Arkadelphia-6'3” 175-Pounds</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1525124' first='Caden' last='Whitaker'] is a running back who has an impressive amount of patience.
