Carmelo's imposing dimensions and athletic build give him a high ceiling, commanding attention every time he touches the ball. With a knack for bouncing to the outside, he forces defenders to overcommit before maneuvering around them, often delivering devastating stiff arms that shrug off contact. Arm tackles simply aren't enough to bring this powerhouse down.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Offseason 7v7 sessions revealed another layer to Carmelo's game; impressive hand skills that hint at his potential as a versatile playmaker. This dual-threat star, known for his brutish defensive play, is proving to be an offensive force, blending raw power, speed, and instinct to dominate as a running back.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/CarmeloFoendoe/status/1890862248924463188","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/CarmeloFoendoe/status/1890862248924463188 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1288829"],"_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-68a8bd6d4f0ba"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1288829' first='Zion' last='Lytle'] is electrifying defenses with his blazing speed and elusive playmaking. An absolute burner, he took a sweep for a 40-yard touchdown as he glided untouched to the end zone last season. His quickness forces defenders to take poor angles, unable to keep up with his crafty, shifty moves. Despite his smaller frame, Zion's elusiveness makes him a constant moving target, weaving through traffic with the ball in his hands.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Zion can carve through defenses without losing a step, maintaining his speed even in tight spaces. His potential is thrilling, and coaches are eager to see what he'll unleash once his growth spurt hits. With a name like Lytle but a game anything but small, Zion is already leaving his mark as a crafty, high octane running back.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/ZionLytle3/status/1915599394973376670","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/ZionLytle3/status/1915599394973376670 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1606612"],"_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-68a8bd6d4f10b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1606612' first='Damour' last='Scott'], a smaller middle school running back with immense upside, is a dazzling playmaker who shines in the open field. His knack for making defenders miss is uncanny, weaving through traffic with slick moves that leave opponents grasping at air. Even when caught in a gang tackle, Damour's remarkable ability to slip free and emerge sprinting downfield sets him apart as a dynamic threat. Damour's elusiveness and open field vision mark him as a rising star with the potential to carve up defenses for years to come.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://www.youtube.com/shorts/gKDD5ptGuXk","type":"video","providerNameSlug":"youtube","responsive":true,"className":"wp-embed-aspect-9-16 wp-has-aspect-ratio"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-9-16 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.youtube.com/shorts/gKDD5ptGuXk </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1662420"],"_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-68ab4adca5d15"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1662420' first='Ah'zir' last='Long'] is a versatile RB that showcases his prowess by adeptly navigating between the tackles, with a keen eye for spotting holes as they open.

New Jersey's talent in the backfield continues to shine, and because of that, we need to extend the series to include a Part II. With four more RBs to keep track of and the season closing in, here are the additional talented backs in New Jersey that everyone should become familiar with.
