It feels like a lot of people around football fandom have the wrong idea and have had it incorrect for some time. To be fair this sort of thing tends to happen. We associate certain teams with certain things and those ideas become locked in our brains.
Penn State always churns out top-tier linebackers (that’s true around here). The Pittsburgh Steelers really know how to draft wide receivers (not exactly untrue). Alabama defensive linemen are monsters (again, sort of fair). The Big XII cannot produce a high-level quarterback (Patrick Mahomes, though).
You get the point.
