The MMU Eagles have cruised to a 3 – 0 start! Of course in the ultimate team game that is Amercian football it requires contributions from everyone. However, there will always be a few stand out players!
We asked the Eagles who the top five teammates on this dangerous side are… here is their answer!
T – No. 5 – Kassim Mayhoub (Running Back) & Scott Tomlinson (Linebacker)
Look, it was a tie so these guys will just have to share a number. Kassim is in his sophomore season, whilst undersized in his dimensions, his speed and power more than make up for it.
Kass has also become a kick returner due to his rapid acceleration, always seeking better field position.
He has had several issues making the starting line up recently due to issues off the field, however, his talent cannot be denied.
Scott is the Eagles defensive anchor and the only defensive player on this list!
With fantastic blocking and bone crushing heavy hits, he makes any opposing offense think twice before running by him.
I mean I witnessed the Lincoln game… he baptised a poor receiver with a hit that could be felt in Haiti.
He also doubles up as a offensive line presence. Without their determination and blocking, the star receivers and QB wouldn’t get to show us their ability. They’ll miss his presence next year.
No. 3 Robin Oakley (Wide Receiver)
Robin catches long throws down field like Drake catches feelings… At 6 foot 7 he is a nightmare of a defensive assignment no matter who guards him.
In their last match he had two touchdown receptions and really took the heart out of the other teams defense.
A towering safety net whenever a play breaks down and a verbal leader. He also doubles as a back up quarter back and offers a solid scrambling threat, versatile and deadly 1 on 1.
No.2 Ash Miller (The Hulk… I mean Offensive & Defensive Lineman)
Ash simply has to be one of the most physically imposing players in the Uni circuit. This man takes absolutely no prisoners.
I have yet to see him be pushed back an inch by any linesman.
He is a brand new acquistion and will likely dominate every match up he has for as long as he stay with the Eagles… what a BEAST.
Such a beast in fact, we couldn’t get a single picture of the man! He is MMU’s secret weapon!
No.1 Robert Duck (Quarterback)
Rob is not only nice as they come, he has a fierce competitive spirit, and an absolute laser of an arm.
Saying he isn’t the most mobile might be being a little generous, but with ridiculous accuracy and calm methodical drives, this man truly brings the whole team together.
After willing his team to victory with a serious shoulder injury in the second half against a just demoted division one team, it is clear why he is No.1 on this list.
So there we have it, there are several honorable mentions, but that may have to be for another article, until then next time you do a scouting report against the Eagles, these are some of the names you better watch out for.
