• To what degree are top high school OL prospects polished, if at all?
• What is the initial transition like to a top level college program?
• What is asked of offensive linemen in spread and more traditional systems?
• Which prepares linemen for the NFL better?
• How many pass rush moves does the average, or even above average college defensive end/outside linebacker possess? How does that compare to NFL players?
• What’s being called out by the QB and the center pre-snap?
• When should offensive linemen get more and less credit as it relates to a successful running game?
• How different are different NFL systems with regard to lineman responsibilities?
