First step quickness and ability to change direction (not to mention gear down) are straight up physical traits and they are MASSIVE for an NCB. Every bit as important as length on the boundary.

And there aren't many people that have those at a premier level either. Fewer than there are guys who are 6'2" and can run fast these days.

I just feel like some have an outdated view of what a NCB really is these days. It's not just some guy who couldn't hack it on the outside. Those guys have very rare skills of their own that are unique to them and the position.

There are still people that don't understand a NCB is a starter in today's league.
