If you’ve been paying attention to the large roster construction discourse that has surfaced through NFL media circles, you’re well aware that the idea of “positional value” has been top of mind. Especially before the draft.
The Athletic Football Show: A show about the NFL podcast is one of my go-to’s for football thought leadership and intellectually stimulating discussions. Hosted by Robert Mayes and a savvy panel of guests, they tackle a wide array of thoughtful topics. Throughout the course of their podcast episodes, they’ve consistently touched on the idea of “devalued positions.” Positions such as running back, center, guard, linebacker mostly fit that category.
