One of the parts of my job that I most enjoy is getting a chance to learn from and chat with some of the best and brightest analysts covering the NFL on a day-to-day basis. Over the summer I was lucky enough to connect with Steven Ruiz, who’s the lead writer of USA Today’s For the Win. He’s a rising star who can analyze film, see through the noise to what analytics matter, and write it in a way that even I can understand it.
So of course, it was impossible for me to miss when he pointed out some alarming observations about the Broncos’ rookie phenom Drew Lock.
