Position coaches are the heartbeat of a football team ⬇️
I spent 12 seasons in the league and could count my 1-on-1 talks with head coaches on two hands. My position coaches? Four hours a day, every day, shaping my entire career. Here’s why they matter:
✅ Spot raw talent and fight for you with GMs and head coaches
✅ Teach the techniques that actually win reps on game day
✅ Hold you accountable in the meeting room and in life
✅ Build a room where teammates become brothers
✅ Stay in your corner long after your last snap
Jason Kelce got his NFL shot because Howard Mudd believed in him. The Eagles play their hearts out for Jeff Stoutland every week. My own comeback call came from a former O-line coach, not from a head coach. Relationships like that change careers.
If you’re a young lineman, find a coach you trust, ask questions, and lean in. You don’t have to do this alone.
