4 or 5 draft classes whatever well I appreciate yeah of course um what goes into being that type of player in the open field?
Um, I'll probably say knowing where all defenders are and where they're gonna be.
Um, if you can read the defense, it kind of determines, you know, how you wanna run your route, um, you know, you get that pitcher right before, you know, you're looking for the ball is where that defender is coming from, so.
You know you have a good, you have a good space in your head about, you know, you know guys trigger fashion they fast, so you kinda like brace yourself a little bit, um, but also keep, you know, your body stable for you to bounce off that tackle, um, and always keep your feet running.
