“Milton Sargbah is an outstanding football player. He’s so elusive that I don’t think he gets credit for being as tough and physical as he is. He breaks a ton of tackles, his change-of-direction is the best I’ve seen in a long time and his straightaway speed is also very good. I’ve never seen him run down from behind, in person or on film.”
