Exactly what I was thinking: It’s very much akin to QBs in college football and why we see so much movement at the position via the transfer portal. There’s just one starter and usually very little playing time for the backup. If you want to get the minutes and the attention of scouts, you need to be starting. And if you get edged out somewhere, you really need to be looking for an open opportunity somewhere else. It’s just the nature of the position and the current state of college athletics.

Thanks for this, Sean - it's a very interesting comparison to make with the college QBs.
