The initial founders of Football Outsiders, for the most part, were brothers at Zeta Delta Xi at Brown University (Aaron, Benjy, Jason, Ian, and ex-Scramble author Al Bogdan). Sean Morey and Zak DeOssie are the only two Brown alumni currently on NFL rosters. Brown doesn’t send a lot of people to the pros compared to the school that ranks second in FO connections (Michigan) so we end up talking about these obscure players a lot.
