Show Notes

NFL teams are prioritizing raw athleticism over football smarts in the draft, leading to a surplus of freaks and a shortage of playmakers. Despite impressive physical attributes, players like Anthony Richardson and JaMarcus Russell have struggled due to lack of game sense and playbook mastery. As college training becomes more advanced, athletic edges are less distinct, making smarts the deciding factor between elite players. The trend is causing player development to decline and leading to more draft busts.
