Avon Blocksdale has already had two different iterations. As a big O Linemen he obviously would have fit in old school very well. As a quarterback it's harder to say. Back in the old school before the forward pass the QB did not have to throw the ball very far. Avon's currents strengths are his intelligence and accuracy, and back in the day those traits did not matter all that much. You had QBs who could play both ways or were fast and good in the option offense. Avon is currently not the fastest or most athletic quarterback in the league.
If Old School were to talk about the 1960s Avon certainly would star. He has an arm and accuracy that would make him an all timer back in the day. Avon would have gone down in history with guys like Johnny Unitas, Y A Title, Joe Namath and other 1960s QBs who are in the hall of fame.
Another thing that would help Avon in the old school is how tough he is. There haven't been many players in the NFL or NSFL who have had the ability to play both OL and QB and Avon (along side Mat Akselsen and Wallace Stone) is a true gem of a player with incredible toughness.
