"Squeezing" the ball is one of the first lessons backfield players must master. Note the way Glenn Presnell of the Detroit Lions has the ball cradled in the hollow of his arm, the hand making a basket over the end and the oval pressed tightly against his ribs. Tendency among young players is to let the ball dangle loosely when about to be tackled and causing a fumble with the tacklers shock. A back must learn instinctively to hug the leather hard at the moment of impact. Many a fine open field run has been spoiled because the carrier fumbles into the hands of the other team and offsets his long gain. "Hug that ball." Glenn Presnell, University of Nebraska, All American Halfback, 1927, Best place kicker in National League. 5 ft. 10 inches, 188 pounds.
An easy-going guy off the football field, Gene becomes a terror when he steps on the gridiron. Opposing passers get a solid thumping all afternoon, thanks to his pass-rushing tactics.
Reggie had one of the best workouts of any player at the Scouting Combine as he ran the 40 in 4.47, displayed a 33-inch vertical leap and a 10-foot broad jump. With those stats, he will fit in perfect ly as a speed pass rusher and cover man for the Lions' aggressive defense. Extremely active, Reggie also excels against the run.
