I seem to remember that article as well.
In particular, they quoted one actual NFL player who was running to score the winning touchdown with seconds left to go - but the score would not be so large that the opposing team couldn't steal the victory on the last possession. He ran to the 1 yard line and juked laterally across the field to run out the clock, basing the technique on similar theatrics in the Madden game.
- faitswulff 10y agoI did manage to find one: http://www.mensjournal.com/adventure/races-sports/how-video-games-are-helping-nfl-stars-train-20150131 http://www.mensjournal.com/adventure/races-sports/how-video-... But I'm not sure if it's exactly the one I read years ago. It doesn't talk as much about strategy as I remember, and no mention of juking, so it's probably not yours. There's likely at least one more out there. I'm curious if videogame playing athletes do better than their non-gamer colleagues.
