<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's finally time to show some love to everyone's favorite side of the ball.

While covering the running backs, it was rare that he lost a rep when the back decided to go vertical. Because Joel has very fast footwork and speed he can stop the open space over the top so very well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A classic sideline to sideline defenders, he's just scratching the surface of his potential. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1351253"],"_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-69495e250d420"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Physicality is his game and he love to get his hands dirty.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the immediate standouts of the day is Carter Raney.

Not only is he very good in play recognition, but he has the necessary speed and quickness to get there and make a play on the ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There's not more you can ask for in a linebacker, what is the most impressive is the fact that he's only a freshman. So he has three years to just grow on his already impressive physical tools. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1673331"],"_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-69495e250d538"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Long is just getting started and has made a name for himself. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's a difficult job for a defensive lineman to show up and show out at these camps with no pads. Kenneth long did his job and made me turn my head and see what's going on in these lineman 1-on-1's.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the younger participants in attendance but was up for the task. Long is still growing into his frame, but has crazy length as an edge player. He can keep offensive lineman at bay by just getting his long arms extended and setting the edge. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

It's finally time to show some love to everyone's favorite side of the ball. Defensively its getting harder and harder to go toe to toe with these offensive players at these camps. Although I left St.Joseph, Mo very pleased with these defensive players. The numbers were definitely against them, but they showed grit and put on a great show.
