New RSP Blog Menus I’m always looking for ways to improve content navigation on this site. Yesterday, I added an NFL Draft menu that features links to all player analysis I featured on this blog, Football Outsiders, and the New York Times Fifth Down.

The Boiler Room: Stanford TE Zach Ertz
Stanford tight end Zach Ertz declared for the draft this week. If someone could only see one play that would matter in deciding his draft day fate, which play would I use to highlight that prospect’s skills ?

Separating The Dark From The Dark: QB Tyler Wilson, Victim or Perpetrator?
Prologue: M. Degas Teaches Art & Science At Durfee Intermediate School by Phillip Levine I love the phrase “separating the dark from the dark.” It signifies that we never have certainty about anything despite the fact that we often want to manufacture a world filled with absolutes.
