I loved this. Great insight. Worth the read.

Measuring Beyond Girth
Offensive linemen are overlooked by everyone except the coaches who grade them each week—and those marks are the difference between lasting in the NFL and finding a new career. For wide bodies, there’s little room for error

This was a really good read. However, when I hear Tucker talk...it sounds like he's on the can trying to squeeze out a big crap.

...there’s a fine line between living in the penthouse or the outhouse. An All-Pro grades between 89-93% while an average player grades between 85-89%. Dip below 85% and you’re staring at a career change. Let that sink in: The difference between making $5-10 million a year and going back to your hometown comes down to just a few plays a game.

Yikes.

A lot of Commentators like to say the game is won in the trenches, so isn't it strange nobody seems to focus on that?
