<p class="text-gray-700">Harris comes off the edge with a burst that immediately puts tackles in recovery mode. His first step is sudden and explosive, allowing him to gain ground quickly and stress the pocket before blockers can fully set. When he times it right, he's already in the backfield disrupting the play.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He uses his length well to control engagement, keeping his frame clean and working to stay on his upfield shoulder. There are flashes of real power when he locks in, showing he can convert speed into force and collapse space. Harris' motor runs hot, and he continues working even when the initial rush doesn't hit. With that combination of burst, length, and effort, he consistently finds ways to impact the play.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Brooks comes off the edge with immediate intent. His first step is explosive, and he pairs it with violent hands that allow him to win early in the rep. He's not reacting—he's dictating, forcing tackles onto their heels from the jump.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Once he gains leverage, he converts speed to power and drives through contact. There's no wasted movement in his rush—everything is direct and aggressive. He plays with a relentless motor and consistently looks to finish, not just pressure. Offensive lines have to account for him every</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Harris is sudden and controlled at the same time, which makes him tough to track in space. His change of pace and ability to stack moves keep defenders off balance, and he maintains speed through cuts without losing control. One miss is usually enough for him to create a big play.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">He's comfortable catching the ball and transitioning immediately into a runner, which adds another layer to his game. The burst is real, but it's the control and balance that allow him to maximize it. He consistently creates more than what's blocked.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Wood runs with a combination of balance and force that shows up on every carry. He builds momentum quickly and turns routine runs into extra yardage by consistently falling forward. Once he gets downhill, defenders have to match his physicality or get moved.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">He's not just a straight-line runner either—there's enough lateral quickness to stack moves and find space when things aren't clean. His vision allows him to press the line and make decisive cuts without hesitation. Add in his ability to catch out of the backfield, and he stays involved regardless of situation.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">McNeil plays the game with immediate urgency off the edge. His first step is explosive, consistently putting tackles on their heels and forcing early reactions. That burst sets the tone for everything else and dictates the rep before it fully develops.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Even as a part time edge McNeil flashes layer to his rush. He's not just relying on speed—he shows bend, footwork, and enough strength to convert that speed into power when needed. He can win around the arc, but also collapse space when he gets into a blocker's chest. That mix keeps offensive linemen guessing.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>In space, he's just as dangerous. His closing speed shows up chasing plays down from the backside, and he has the range to protect the perimeter and clean up outside runs. Once he triggers downhill, it's decisive and violent—he's looking to finish plays, not just be around them. </p>
