He had 83 total tackles (44 solo, 39 assisted), 9 TFL, 1 sack, 2 INT, with 3 FF. Grieman has very good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, speed, lateral quickness, change of direction, and good jumping. At the line of scrimmage, he demonstrates a good job re-routing wide receivers and jamming them at the LOS. Smooth body control. Grieman has very good read and reaction speed paired with strong tackling. He'll punch the ball out of the ball carrier's hands. Hard hitter as well. Grieman has very good competitive toughness and will run across the field to make the tackle. Kid's a beast and he's just getting started.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140777"],"_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-69beee41f14ba"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Giles measures in at 5'10 170-pounds. Last season, he had 109 total tackles (45 solo, 64 assisted), 2 TFL, 1 sack, 5 QB pressures, 3 FF, and 1 FR. He has good athletic ability due to his very good lateral quickness, balance, good acceleration, and speed. Good range. Giles is another downhill threat that thrives at stopping the run. Uses his good block shedding to get past the offensive line and into the backfield. Very good tackling using his strength to wrap and pull down the ball carrier. He loves to rip or punch the ball out to create a fumble. Giles is an exciting prospect with a bright future ahead of him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1692830"],"_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-69beee41f1525"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Berard is a physical presence for Legend's defense. Measuring in at 6'1 215-pounds, he accounted for 111 total tackles (38 solo, 73 assisted), 5 TFL, 1 sack, 5 QB pressures, and 1 fumble recovery. Berard has very good athletic ability due to very good lateral quickness, change of direction, acceleration, good speed, and jumping. He uses his quick twitch ability paired with very good read and reaction to consistently put himself in position to make a play. Very good range with his sideline-to-sideline speed. He stays poised against read options and RPOs not getting overzealous and missing the tackle. Berard has good get off and very good block shedding and very good tackling. After last year's breakout season, Berard is poised for some big things.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1969483"],"_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-69beee41f158a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Proffit measures in at 5'11 180-pounds playing track, football, and baseball. He had 109 total tackles (32 solo, 77 assisted), 8 TFL, 2 sacks, 1 QB pressure, 1 INT, with 1 FR. He has good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, good speed, change of direction, lateral quickness, and jumping. Good read and reaction speed. Proffit excels as a downhill threat stuffing gaps and getting into the backfield. Good get off speed and block shedding. Very good blitz take off speed. Proffit has good tackling paired with very good competitive toughness. Will run across the field using his good range to help teammates finish the tackles. Look out for him next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1330944"],"_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-69beee41f15fa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Krza measures in at 6'1 205-pounds. Last season, he had 42 total tackles (17 solo, 25 assisted), 1 TFL, 1 INT, and 5 PD. He has good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, change of direction, lateral quickness, jumping, and speed. Krza has good mental processing due to his good read and reaction speed. Consistently watching the QB's eyes to put himself in position to make a play. Uses his very good get off speed paired with good block shedding to reach the backfield. When Krza is out in coverage, he'll use his good closing quickness to create pass breakups. I'm excited to see him take the next step in his development as a prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
