2022 was the year of the quarterback sneak. That carried over into the Super Bowl where it served as a clearly potent weapon for the NFC’s Philadelphia Eagles. Perhaps no team was more successful running it this past season, though it swept the entire league. Even the Pittsburgh Steelers got in on it, with the ‘pusher’ role becoming prominent.
Former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was somewhat infamous for not running sneaks. That became increasingly true as he got older, though he always maintained he would run them if they were called. Perhaps he would have favored them more with a pusher, which he wonders might not be legal much longer.
