There’s no position group as overlooked as the offensive line. However, without a strong offensive line, it is impossible to operate an offense. It doesn’t matter if Tom Brady, Jerry Rice, and Barry Sanders are highlighting the skills positions. With no time and blocking, they aren’t able to operate.
A great offensive line is a full unit. If there’s one weak chain link it doesn’t matter how strong the other links other. The chain will break and pressure will burst through. That’s why it’s so important to have five talented offensive linemen.
