Interior linemen can get away with it more. Tackles play on an island to some extent, same as DEs. That’s why they say some guys will move inside, because they lack the length or speed to play outside. Jeff Saturday did not grade out well athletically, Mike Pollack graded out very high athletically. Very different careers. But teams don’t know how to differentiate between the two. So you track the features and traits you can. Also anomalies are called anomalies for a reason.
