Almost anything in football can be viewed in relation to the quarterback.
The premium positions beside the guy under center? Those who can protect him, impact him or make plays in the passing game for him.

“I know my role, OK?” David Morris, Bo Nix’s personal QB coach and founder of QB Country, told me with a chuckle. “And I’m not up there to try and tell Sean Payton how to coach quarterbacks.
