It’s that time of year when everyone is releasing their preseason info, media guides, top lists, and today’s nugget: watch lists! There’s a dozen or so major college football awards, and today’s Award du jour is the Rimington Trophy, the one that goes to the nation’s top center.
Ask anyone who played football and they’ll hopefully tell you that the center position is one of the most underrated on the field. As a former offensive lineman, I can’t help but to agree. Sure, your glory boy QBs and WRs are who get all the headlines are easy to point to as important, but they wouldn’t have anything to do until the center snapped the ball.
