I wrote this article last February and I thought it would be a good refresher in the run-up to the 2015 Draft. Obviously, the players highlighted are from last season's draft, but the concepts remain the same. Enjoy.

Tweener. Defensive end. 4-3 end. Standup linebacker. Run-side endbacker. Edge rusher. 4-3 outside linebacker. Rush end.

What do these terms refer to, what are the differences between them, what makes a "tweener," and what effect does that have on evaluation?
