Multiple players will touch the ball at any time along with the ability to run a bigger back to power run the football. Pass game developing with multiple receivers. Five quarterbacks working within multiple packages.
Defense: Looking for best 11 that will pursuit to the football. Key is to find our best 11 defensive players along with a solid rotation for defensive line.
Special Team: Key is consistent kicking.
