OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
JoJo Binda Jr., San Diego
Senior (RS) | Running Back Providence, Rhode Island
Binda Jr. became the fourth PFL runner to record a 200-yard rushing day, amassing 227 yards on 13 carries in San Diego’s 51-7 PFL victory at Stetson, Saturday. His 17.5 yards per carry was the best mark in the PFL this season. Binda Jr. took seven of his 13 carries for 10-plus yards and three runs went for 30-plus yards. He finished with just one touchdown carry, a 36-yard dash in the third quarter, but also had a 71-yard run to start the fourth quarter that set up a San Diego score on the next play. It was the best rushing yardage total by a San Diego rusher since 2014 (Jonah Hodges vs. Stetson).
