OT - I have been asked to write a football article

I have been asked to write an article about the NFL for a website. I will disclose the website and show you all, once/if I get published.

For now, I need some ideas! He said he wants a "unique take/perspective" and he is partial to front office stuff, but it can be about anything, draft, free agency, x's and o's etc.

Fire away!

If you want to do a lot of research, I'd look at the effect of trading down in the draft (Packer relevant), i.e. rate the players involved 0-4 by some subjective means and see who comes out on top.

0: Didn't make roster
1: Made roster, limited to ST or no PT
2: Primary backup
3: Starter
4: All-Pro

Maybe add a couple levels in between. Don't know.

I think this would be a really interesting read tbh. Also would make for a really good thread on here for debate.

WB set himself up with this thread, too easy.

Do one on toughness and how it relates to success.

How GMs become attached to fan favorite players who are actually garbage (i.e. Kuhn).

I hope the article entails why some fans say "OMG guys I have a bad feeling about this game" before every playoff game.
