What physical attributes are useless for Offensive Linemen?

And to the extent that varies by a run blocker or a pass blocker, so note.

For instance, is Footwork at all relevant for a Run Blocker? Does that change if he is used as a pulling lineman?

Is Quickness the GLB2 Agility? Is it needed to counter Quickness in a Pass Rusher?

Does an O Lineman need Sprinting? Does that vary from Run to Pass Blocker, pulling? How much?

Does Snap Reaction matter for a Center?

You are so backwards...

Why not figure out what attributes are useful?

anyway I don't think ppl are just gonna spill a season of research for just any1.

its rly not that hard to figure all these out yourself.

I'd say vertical is useless. Probably diving too.

Balance seems to be a pretty big deal for avoiding revcakes and other bad outcomes from failed blocks. Footwork also seems universally useful. It helps with maintaining good positioning, especially when you lose a block and the D-lineman has high footwork to take advantage of the broken block.

The other stuff is very situational dependent. A guard asked to pull more often will need more sprinting than one that isn't asked to do it much. Quickness will be more important if your O-linemen needs to change facing often, probably in pass blocking and pulling blocks. So centers may not need much, unless they're the pass blocker that isn't engaged and need to peel back to assist the OT with a quick defensive end.
