generational prospect


It seems like every draft season we hear this term, but it doesn't count if it happens every year

These aren't terms, they're objective verifiable data points that directly correlate to success.

This one is really only thrown around a lot by collinsworth, but he has a terrible habit of saying:

"Random player the average fan doesn't know is one of the best players in the league at random specific skill"

Example: Dolphins run left for 12 yard gain.

"Robert Jones has struggled some this year in pass protection, but he's one of the best guards in the league at walling off a linebacker at the second level"

He's not, but every game he calls has a "best guy in the league"
