A few observations:

  • Quarterbacks dominate the list no matter the experience or popularity level
  • Running backs seem to lack high value following the trending ideas around the running back position being relatively interchangeable
  • Strong correlation between non-QBs follower count and valuation standing
  • Arizona Wildcats stand out with prominent valuations representing the West Coast.
  • Auburn’s program is boasting strong value for non-QB players.
