by The Unsung Hero’s Award – Offensive Linemen everywhere!
Not a season goes by that I don’t get atleast 8-10 emails asking why I don’t feature more offensive linemen. I’m sorry, but I send only one set of eyeballs to each game and I need them to focus on who is catching, throwing and running the ball. Also, who is tackling the ball carrier and rushing the passer.
However, that doesn’t mean that I don’t completely agree that O-Linemen are the most important facet, and least talked about position in any sport. They are also usually the funniest guys on the team with the best personalities as well.
Without the big boys on the O-Line, none of these awards would be possible. Without a good O-Line, you have absolutely nothing. They are the reason we have a running back of the year, quarterback of the year, etc..
Perhaps this meme below sums it up best.
I’d challenge this with Isaiah Johnson from Elyria
