Has anyone done any tests between a highly agile OT and a non-agile DE? Vice-versa? Agile vs Agile? Non-agile vs Non-agile? These are the types of tests I would be interested in. I tend to think Agility would be important for an OT type of OL.

From the, albeit very short/brief, explanation we got about footwork and agility last season, several of us came to the conclusion that footwork was far more important at the OL, and that agility was more for positions like WR and CB for quick cuts.

Hmm, time to change my thoughts on OL. Have to check my guys now.

The importance if any for OL is way too low to bother about agility. Besides training blocking/ footwork gets some agility training which further reduces the importance of agility training or if your hunch is right makes the importance of agility obscure
