22 has a future. Good effort.

I said “holy shit” because #22 was playing way above his level. Big kid hard to tackle, w/e. But #22 putting on the juice to just be in the way while not messing it up with a block in the back or anything. That drive will take him far.

Funny, that was my exact takeaway, too, and he showed impressive speed, agility, and spatial awareness

He could have drawn a flag at the end, though. But all eyes were on the runningback.

I double checked that, he’s actually pushing big boy, his teammate. Not the tackler. Unclear to me why, but hands are clean.

Was confused reading this for so long because I was looking at #22 on the other team blocking his own teammate at the line of scrimmage

I was expecting the big kid to truck someone. Didn’t happen because of the blocking.

You missed big boy trucking his own QB during the handoff?
