were two members of a dynamic Gridiron AIGA team a year ago, but this year Paine will be in the blue and yellow of FSP. Last year Paine primarily played running back and had a monster season as the main source of rushing offense. That said, he’s a weapon in the passing game as well with pretty good hands and ability to create after the catch. Defensively he lives for the big hit as a safety, but long term I think his future is as a running back if I had to project right now.

Doesn’t have the omg-speed that some of the other 2027 Running Backs have on this Watchlist, but has more than enough to pick up big chunks of yards. Strong kid who keeps the chains moving and doesn’t shy from contact.
