So there isn't much room for kids who are pure athletes but aren't technically sound at their position?


At kick/punt returner maybe. See Korliss Marshall, Dominique Reed, Joe Adams, etc.. Nowhere else though.

I definitely wouldn't say Alex Collins had to rely on his athleticism to be a great RB. The combine showed us how little athleticism he actually has.


Ignoring special teams, I'd rank them like this.

DE
OLB
DT
ILB
DB
RB
OT
WR





OG/C




QB

Good call on PR's. The ones I played with were super athletic, but also half cray-cray. Takes a special person to have the balls to field punts.

DE's were always the freaks and not the smartest. Sort of like a dumb dog that understood to actually chase and get the ball, but couldn't bring it back like it was supposed to.
