...But I think the reality of the NFL is that things like scheme fit play a much bigger role in these decisions than the other factors that we usually exaggerate in our heads.
In the end, all that matters is winning.
When your HC publicly states numerous times that the team would be built on character, the character factor is not just something in our heads. It's likely that the coach believes that character directly correlates to winning.
Scheme fit is huge but character can be just as huge especially when that's something the organization has emphasized.
