In an era when terms are often overused and misapplied, former USC quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Matt Leinart took to X to ask a question that warrants further discussion.
His post asked about the nature of what truly makes a player generational. For some, as mentioned in the post, this will have more to do with ability or skill level. While for others, the distinction comes more from the physical nature of the athlete.
When looking at the topic in a broader sense, 'generational' has become watered down. Regardless of how individuals specifically define it, seemingly every team that is discussed in media spaces is viewed as someone of this classification.
