It’s easy to get caught up watching the physical freaks when scouting skill position players.
It’s tough to not look at the giants who still manage to move in ways even normal sized humans should be able to, or marvel at the speedsters who look like they’re playing the game in fast-forward. One of the attractions of the on-field workouts at the NFL Scouting Combine is seeing ridiculously athletic young men doing ridiculously athletic things.
But the danger in that is ignoring the players with more pedestrian athletic traits but the skills to succeed at the NFL level.
