Can a 22 man starting lineup be created solely with players who are responsible for plays that got rules changed or modified? Can be from any season, team or era.
I can think of a few examples of what I mean:
QB: Tom Brady, the tuck rule
CB: Nickell Robey Coleman (2019 NFCCG) the pass interference review
LB: Anthony Barr (2017, squished Aaron Rodgers), the “defender’s weight” rule
TE: Jesse James (2017, “dropped” go-ahead TD against Patriots) replaced catch definition with current 3 element catch rule
WR: Dez Bryant (2015, “did Dez catch it”) similarly impactful on above rule
Each rule change doesn’t necessarily have one play or player that caused it, but from what I can remember of just the last 10 years it must be possible to get a full team out of this.
