In the closing chapter of his latest book, Sports Illustrated Senior Writer, Tim Layden features the A-11 Offense as a possible future of football. ”Football is forever in a state of dynamic tension, staunchly resisting change while desperately demanding it. Every innovation in the history of the game carried risk, challenged norms and put the creators’ jobs at risk.” Link to Blood Sweat & Chalk

Just prior to the 2009 season, ESPN Rise Magazine featured the A-11 Offense’s use of multiple skill-set athletes at all offensive positions, regardless of jersey number, in Ryan Canner-O’Mealy’s cover story “Change The Game.” A-11 strategy makes maximum use of every player on the field as a potential scoring threat.
