This pin ball style of running allows him to bounce off contact, keeps his legs moving through congestion, and get the most out of a carry. However he can still make someone miss and display subtle shiftiness when he gets his speed behind him. </p>   <p>Though he has the capability of being a feature back.

He also has a strong understanding of pass protection responsibilities which is crucial in modern offenses. </p>   <p>He squares up blitzers, maintains a solid base, and shows the willingness to do the dirty work required to be on the field during the money downs. Nalls is complete back who is an asset in any offense.

This is represented in his throwback style and ability to be a bell cow back. Huff consistently seeks contact and finishes through defenders rather than around them. With excellent lower-body strength and contact balance he's ultra effective in short-yardage or red-zone situations</p>   <p>Though Huff is a power back by nature - nimble feet for a bigger back. He also has solid build up speed when he gains steam which makes him a hell raiser in space. Lastly he's shown a willingness and skill to block. His ability to clear path ways with speed, leverage, and hand placement ups his gives offenses flexibility in multi-back formations and increases his value as an every down back. </p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JaylenJiggyHuff/status/2063760866315489329?s=20 </div></figure>    <p>Grant's elite athletic profile allow him to be a big-play threat every time he touches the football. His 0-60 allows him to reach top speed almost instantly and generate advantages before defenses have time to react. Once he gets into the second level, his breakaway speed convert splash plays into scores. </p>   <p>Grant's suddenness in tight spaces make him even more of a mismatch. His jump cuts are extremely sharp and efficient. These controlled redirections don't sacrifice momentum, while his natural elusiveness consistently allow him to make the most out of condensed situations. The burst he generates out of cuts is reminiscent of a natural scat back who can fit in any scheme as a gadget option.</p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JaydenG72614/status/1973599191323779530?s=20 </div></figure>
