Career Touchdowns
“EJ has played all season long with a fierce intensity and a desire for contact. This aggressive style has led to punishing runs against the defense. He also has elite speed. Add to that his unnatural balance and pure strength and you end up with a five-star running back who stands out versus all competition.”
