From play calls to terminology, the language of football must sound ridiculous to many people. The draft brings out some of the most ridiculous. Here's a few of them to help you this week.
Dancing Bear-offensive lineman who moves his feet well
Knee Bender-showing good flexibility, particularly in the case of offensive linemen
Stock Rising-a player gaining in popularity among scouts and GMs in advance of the draft
Stock Falling-a highly regarded player is dropping down the draft boards
Hands Like Feet-terrible hands
Satellite Player-he plays well in space
Road Grader-a lineman who excels at run blocking
Throwing In a Phone Booth-able to use a compact throwing motion within a confined area
Tweener-a player that doesn't quite fit into one position
Jitterbug Runner-a running back with shifty moves
Bubble-the tushy, butt, derriere
There's so many more. Every year new terms pop up and they are usually fun but fairly ridiculous.
