“I’ve always felt that offensive line is the pinnacle of team sports. It’s the combination of strength, intelligence, toughness, technique, and teamwork - all while lacking any sort of glory. It’s about time there was a podcast that does justice to this great position - you can find it here.
I appreciate these guys getting into the weeds and completely nerding out over the nuances of the game.
In the spirit of football nerds, I want to highlight my favorite random o-lineman: John Urschel.
I’m sure many are familiar with his off-field achievements, having completed his PhD in Mathematics at MIT while playing in the NFL. He admitted after retiring, that he did not disclose to the Ravens that he took correspondence classes between workouts and practices.
Unfortunately (for us fans), his NFL career only lasted three years. Understandably, he cited CTE as the main reason for this decision, despite his love for the game as seen in this quote:
“I play because I love the game. I love hitting people. There’s a rush you get when you go out on the field, lay everything on the line and physically dominate the player across from you. This is a feeling I’m addicted to, and I’m hard-pressed to find it anywhere else.”
He is currently an assistant professor of mathematics at MIT, and I’m happy for him, but this isn’t the only reason I love him. As a massive Ravens fan, it was such a nice luxury to have a guy like John who regularly filled in across the entire line to a competent level. He was the Patrick Mekari before Patrick Mekari.
It’s not a stretch to say John (by the classical definition) has a case to be crowned as the smartest player to ever play the game - and he was an o-lineman.”
