It’s fairly agreed upon that Marcelo was a top 2 LB, arguably goat attacking fullback of all time. But when he was tried out in more advanced positions a few times, he never had the same impact. Life is a lot easier when you’re often the spare man overloading a wing and getting space to deliver crosses. And the attention is on your world class wing teammate.
I’m not saying TAA wouldn’t thrive in an advanced role, but I’d just never assume it translates as easy as you might think.
