Jumbo Package: Offensive Line is very much a work in progress

Good Morning! I’m not sure why 247 led with this tribute yesterday, but I ain’t mad.

That footwork, oh my. I haven’t seen anything move like quick in the hole since prom.

Tell me how this is anything other than pay-for-play? So far, 22 schools have announced that they will give “academic bonuses” to players who get good grades (talk about incentivizing basket-weaving and sociology, eh?). Of those 22, nine are in the SEC, of course including Auburn. Only Georgia has seemed cool to the notion, and Alabama has been mum on the arrangement, but honestly I see this eventually being adopted by every P5 at some point.
