Cleveland Browns: Spread offenses hurt offensive linemen, too

The Cleveland Browns selected offensive linemen Shon Coleman and Spencer Drango in the 2016 NFL Draft, both of whom from spread offenses.

The impact of the spread offense on the NFL has been enormous as players coming into the professional ranks from a spread system are unprepared to play in a professional offense. This is the most apparent at quarterback, but it also impacts offensive linemen.

The ill effects of the spread are lamented every year come the NFL Draft as teams searching for a quarterback, like the Browns seem to be doing continuously, evaluate all the top prospects at the position.
