Not counting transferring to another school and changing positions. One school whole career. Has any player ever had more success with a position swap than Blake?

The best swap would be this going to the Bama board

Johnnie Holland was a Quarterback, then an all-american ILB at A&M.

Jevon Kearse was a LB at Florida

I'm pretty sure Senquez Golson was playing on offense before he switched to defense full time.

This is Bama board material.

But, I wont deny what LANE KIFFIN did with Blake Sims is nothing short of incredible.

Robert Edwards started as a DB then moved to RB. He was well on his way to becoming a concensus all american and shattering some school records as well, until his ankle got shattered running down the sideline against UT in 1995. Still, he went on to have a pretty nice senior year and was the 18th overall pick in the 1st round of the 1998 NFL draft.

I'm talking the change taking place while enrolled in School. Like started career at one position but was in a different by the end. Did Reed change positions during his time at LSU?

Yes.

You are a Bama fan. You know Josh Reed's story. He showed it to ya'll that certain day remember?

ETA: RB to WR. Josh Booty suggestion to Dinardo

I was just a youngin then. What did Reed start out playing?

Aww I see. Reed has a legit claim as having the better swap.

I give him props but it definitely helps to play on the team he plays on and have Cooper to throw to. The coaches also did a very good job of game planning around what he does best.

Jay Ratliff started as a tight end at Auburn and then he was moved to defensive line. He made 4 pro bowls as a defensive lineman for the Dallas Cowboys. He was also a key player on Auburn's undefeated team in 2004. His success blows Blake Simms out of the water

are we discounting the fact that he was a 4* dual threat quarterback coming out of high school and pretending like he had been a running back all of his life? He only played two years at rb at Bama right? Was a QB the rest of his life?

Totally forgot about Tanny. Did he have a better career than Blake?
