To help untangle these euphemisms, we created a glossary to decode NFL evaluations, separated by levels of nefariousness that even Dante would appreciate. And in that spirit, let us take you on a journey ...

CEILING
The external limit set by people who aren't the player on how good the player can be. A player must spend his career justifying his CEILING.

CONSENSUS
What the NFL personality or writer believes. There's a CONSENSUS that what they're saying is true.

CONVENTIONAL WISDOM
A quarterback needs to be tall and have big hands to succeed. That's why Ryan Mallett is the best quarterback in the NFL.

FILM
A real FOOTBALL PLAYER with high FOOTBALL IQ is someone who watches a lot of film. Does not refer to the movie “Concussion” or the documentary “League of Denial.”

LEADERSHIP
The quality of being able to yell out inspirational quotes and cliches.

MATURITY
The state where a young adult can stand on the podium and assert that both teams played hard.
