While I suspect we may have a couple that may do so in the lastest NSFL rookie class, that's an awfully long time for such a small milestone to be broken. By giving them extra TPE or better base stats, the position doesn't become inherently more fun, and that seems to be what is holding people back. Not that they aren't cost effective for a few seasons. Most (actually, all) of these creates never made it out of the DSFL, where they're starting all 14 games.
If we make the position a more viable option for a long term career, and people still don't choose to make offensive lineman, then we know it's because the position doesn't hold enough interest at a widespread level. But not changing the rules to make it more viable on the assumption that the reason no one has chosen to stick with it is because of a lack of interest rather than the lack of real career opportunities isn't really fair to people who might be interested in going o-line, even if some people think it's boring.
