I have a brother-in-law that’s a huge sports junkie. He’s told me for years that scouts look at an o-lineman’s ankles before they look at anything else physically. Maybe he learned this from Freeze! Freeze did coach my other brother-in-law at a small college called Lambuth 12-15 years ago.

Freeze saw "pronation" and thought it was "probation."

What you think @Rolltide24

I always looked at knees first then ankles myself… Cankles were a quick reject.

A good friend from college coaches there now, has since maybe 2014-2015 or so. At least he coached them through this past season, just got the ax at the end of the season.

According to my neighbor (retired NFL scout for the Atlanta Falcons and the Tampa Bay Buc’s) - in the dinosaur days back before the internet) this isn’t any revelation, He said coaches, recruiters and scouts have been looking at ankles and calf’s for a long time to help determine if a player’s an athlete. For example, high and balled calf muscles are indicators for both speed and vertical metrics. Who knew?

Long, flat calf muscle-don’t waste your time.

If he can recruit he should do well.

Didn't know this was a secret. I recognized this decades ago only a year into my first career as a personal athletic trainer. The shape of the lower leg must taper as it descends and the glutes cannot be flat. Just read an ESPN article a few weeks ago about how Saban was quoted early in his coaching career as saying he wanted the D linemen with the biggest asses. So ankles and asses are key lol.

So ankles and asses are key lol.

My 18 year-old self would whole heartedly agree, only he would have added one more part for the trifecta…

As hokey as this is made out to sound by this chick that obviously has no clue about athletic physiology, there's some science behind this very simple visual observation he's conducting here.

Elongated achilles tendons (exponentially more dominant in African Americans) developed over centuries by environmentally adaptive evolution attributes to greater athleticism.
