The Pacific-12 can still boast some of the NFL's top offensive players. Yes, that includes quarterbacks such as Aaron Rodgers, Justin Herbert, and Gardner Minshew, but also linemen such as David Bakhtiari, Andrus Peat, Garrett Bolles, and Kolton Miller.

The cost: a 2021 third-round pick and a conditional 2022 pick that starts as a second-rounder but goes up to a first-rounder if Wentz plays 75% of the snaps next season or plays 70% of the snaps and the Colts go to the playoffs.

Despite the conference's reputation for offense, the Big 12 has produced plenty of quality defenders, including Xavien Howard, Chris Harris, Emmanuel Ogbah, and Jerry Hughes.

Most NFL stars out of the Big Ten were trench players—Dawuane Smoot, Rodger Saffold, Tristan Wirfs, Jack Conklin, Chase Young, T.J. Watt. Oh, and also the league's top two quarterbacks in career touchdown passes. Them too.

There were a lot of starting quarterbacks in 2020 from Atlantic Coast Conference schools, including Matt Ryan, Deshaun Watson, Daniel Jones, Lamar Jackson, Mitchell Trubisky, and Philip Rivers

Sad news out of Florida, where Vincent Jackson—a former Pro Bowl wide receiver for the Chargers and Buccaneers—has passed away. 

Top NFL players this season from the Southeastern Conference included Derrick Henry, Justin Jefferson, and Za'Darius Smith.

The Texans and J.J. Watt agreed to a mutual separation. Like an old married couple! It's a bit of a surprise that Watt wasn't traded somewhere, although his contract was pretty high and not really at any kind of discount.

Marty Schottenheimer passed away last night. Seventh all-time on the list of regular-season wins. I’m busy with personal responsibilities today so no long commentary by me, but here’s a place for readers to discuss and appreciate the legacy of Martyball. 

Now that we know the Hall of Fame class of 2021, it's time to start debating the class of 2022. Our own Mike Tanier has his picks, seeing it as a year where the voters will be able to clear some logjams at positions including the offensive line, linebacker, and safety.
