I’m not sure about that. The Theismann injury was more of a freak injury than anything else. LT’s dominance as an outside linebacker had changed the way the game was played long before that.

The Theisman injury is the reason left offensive tackles are some of the most sought after and well paid positions.

Also that injury changed the way the league trys and protect the QB...

Depending on which QB (elite) the defense can hardly touch them.
