Emmanuel Pooler 5' 9" 180lbs. RB 2012

Emmanuel Pooler is one of the quicker more elusive type backs, he should be very productive in a offense that creates mismatches with his skills. He uses his smaller frame to his advantage picking and darting through traffic behind his blockers with rare suddenness. Possesses excellent lateral quickness, loose hips and is extremely smooth in all of his movement skills. Hits the hole at full speed and can cut on a dime sliding through the small cutback creases as defenders overrun him.  Avoids tacklers in space with outstanding body control, change of direction quickness and

overall lateral agility. Excels at bouncing  to the perimeter and turning the corner with a extra gear; gets to full speed by his second or third step. Can be slippery to wrap up as an in line runner as well. Runs with a low center of gravity, great balance and rarely gives defenders a clean shot at him. Keeps his legs churning when wrapped up and generates the strength of a bigger runner with his good initial burst through the hole. Bottom line, Emmanuel could develop into a very dangerous back in a wide open offense with his quick twitched athleticism in space. ..........................        Intangibles                        9 ...    Athleticism                        8      Size                        8   ...  Strength                        8      Quickness                        9      Agility                        8      Speed                        9      Cut back                        8      Potential                         8      Technique                         8 Overall score   83
