OL and DL are typically polar opposites in terms of intelligence and all that. 12guage (RIP) used to joke that an elite DT who is without any academic issues before his senior year is basically a unicorn. OL are often smart and do well in school and can handle going to a place like Stanford


It really doesn't make a ton of sense but this is so true.

I guess O-linemen are a mix of size, smarts, and footwork.

D-line is either physical freaks or fat huge guys that can fill gaps/draw double teams.

Uh...

He's saying O-line is white guys and D-line is black guys.

Apart from Mark Gastineau and Howie Long and JJ Watt that's mostly true.

The NFL is 70% black:

But 75% of NFL centers and 65% of guards are white...

While...

77% of Defensive ends and 70% of Defensive Tackles are black.
