My Take
I have enormous respect for offensive linemen, and Brandon Scherff is a textbook case. Out of tiny Denison, Iowa, through the Iowa Hawkeyes and into a decade in the NFL as a guard, this 196 cm giant spent ten years doing the least glamorous job in the sport: protecting the quarterback in the trenches, earning All-Pro honours in 2020 with almost no spotlight. Linemen never score and rarely get the camera, yet without their grind the offence does not move an inch. I prefer these quiet pillars to the flashy stars, and surviving ten years of that collision warfare marks a genuinely tough man.
