HB Draft Notes
In the player notes for halfbacks, everything except the 1st line is filler that gives you no information. The first line will tell you about the “Covers Ball” trait.
- Puts an emphasis on protecting the ball = Covers Ball – For All Hits
- Protects the football versus any contact = Covers Ball – On Medium Hits
- Rarely protects the football = Covers Ball – On Big Hits
- Braces for impact versus hard hitters = Covers Ball – Never
- (If nothing is mentioned) = Covers Ball – Always
