don't 2 Cap Catching instead bring up Stanima and confidence to at least the 1 cap.

don't put any points in catching, training it up to the mid-40's is more than enough, and any more will take away from more important parts of the build.

I was gonna say, personally I'd be multi-training Confidence and Stamina instead of Catching and Speed.

So 1 cap Stamina and Confidence first, and only 1 cap catching? Hows the rest sound?

quad train stamina, tackling, confidence, strength. Go ahead and take agility to 74 and then vision to 77. Really though, you shoulda just taken speed to 77 or 81 first because he's not going to have that elite speed. But quad train! that's key! Forget about catching, that doesn't do anything, then get jumping to at least 68. But at some point either earlier or later you will need tackling to at least 60, preferably 68. You want Avoid fake % and either make tackle % or deflect ball % and then a 3rd piece of Super vision, all EQ into speed.

Make sure your cap tackling, and then double cap it later on. Put a few SPs into wrap up and diving tackle, or you will have like 60 missed tackles next season, and you might end up giving up a big run play or something in the title game.

Vision needs to be at the 4-cap IMO, how you get it there is up to you. You won't make plays if you don't see the ball coming. The earlier you see the play develop/pass come the longer you get the bonus from Ball Hawk.
