Ariel Lara

This lightning-fast Ecuadorian fullback is a nightmare for wingers, pairing elite defensive intelligence with an unrelenting engine. After his career nearly ended due to a freak quad tear suffered while trying to jump over a llama in the Andes, he channeled that struggle into an obsession for defensive perfection. Though he remains remarkably humble and friendly, his aggressive tackling makes him an absolute force, even if he still struggles to read the play's trajectory before it unfolds.
