Offensive linemen are big and strong. But they are not quick and athletic. When you measure them against all of the football players on the team (and against all other male athletes in all others sports at UNL), their 10-yard and 40-yard dash times would be the slowest of all. They aren't going to out run the tennis players, the soccer players, or the baseball players. But they might have a chance against some of the golfers.
Bottom line: I do not bother evaluating offensive lineman. However, I am quite certain the *** does it.. He evaluates everybody. He is the quantity evaluation guy in the his board. I am just the quality guy.
I do quality evaluations of the best athletes on our roster. I don't bother with offensive linemen. IMO, when you have seen one big, slow, strong offensive lineman. you've seen them all. However, offensive lineman are certainly valuable. They are required. But I'd rather evaluate O-lineman as a unit, not as individuals.
The big strong guys who are quick and athletic are on the defensive line. I might take a turn at evaluating them, but I mostly stick to the skill players.
When the pundits talk about skill players, why don't they talk about offensive linemen? I think the answer is rather obvious.
So, is *** a former offensive lineman? Does anybody know?
When Adam Carricker was a HuskerMaxer, everybody knew what position he played and when he played. However, ***'s playing career seems to be a hidden mystery. Does anybody know anything about it?
