What happened

The big things — height, weight, speed, production — are fairly obvious, and the Giants see them, of course.

Why it matters

The other 31 teams in the NFL see them as well, but do not always come to the same conclusions.

Common ground

Player evaluation does include plenty of subjectivity.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
