Build an NFL Player questions

How do I build a QB?

You build an NFL quarterback. The spin picks a real NFL passer, and all nine traits preview what he gave at his best: Arm, Accuracy, IQ, Pocket, Mobility, Improv, Clutch, Leadership and Size. Take the one you want from him, go again for the next quarterback, and finish the sheet in nine spins with a single reroll.

Can I build a receiver or a running back?

Not here. Every NFL build is a quarterback, so the sheet only holds a passer’s gifts, from reading a defense to escaping pressure and winning games as the starter. Receivers and backs never come up on the reel.

Which NFL quarterbacks can the spin land on?

Any of 218 real NFL quarterbacks, with careers from 1937 to 2025. The reel leans toward the stars, so famous names come up most, but the leather-helmet years still turn up.

How are the NFL traits measured?

Arm is yards per completion, and Accuracy is completion rate against that season’s league. IQ rewards a low interception rate, Pocket a low sack rate (sacks were first counted in 1960), and Mobility counts rushing yards per game. Improv is a 0–99 rating of his best play outside the pocket. Clutch counts game-winning drives. Leadership is his record as a starter, kept from 1950, with a title and an MVP on top. Size weighs height and weight against quarterbacks of his era.
