Considering my username , I'd be a return specialist and a 3rd down-back. lol

I'd have the skillset of a poor man's Darren Sproles.
WB(water boy; got hit once; was absolutely convinced watching was better than playing!)
Fullback.

I'd get to go out there and hit people, opening up holes for my running back and then slip out every now and then for a pass.
DE. Played it in HS and loved it.
I would love to play WR but I'm built like a OL.

Linebacker, what I played in HS and D3 college, enjoyed tackling ball carriers.
I played ILB in high school, and also Guard (most under size guard in the history of guards 5-7 145 soaking wet). Started both ways and special teams, but got into other stuff, and my size and skill set became more and more of a limiting factor. In the end i got by on leadership and pure heart, but there is only so far that that can get you.

ILB would be my choice.

Defensively I'd play Safety. Played it in HS and I liked being able to survey the whole field.




I'd backup Drew Brees. Fat paychecks for doing nothing in a party town. Outside shot at a ring.
Safety. I play it in flag football and that shiz takes so much concentration it's bananas.

But there's never a better feeling when you're covering your side of the field and the QB realizes he's not going to get much if he goes your way.

But there's also never a worse feeling when you realize your coverage mistakes cost your team the game. It's as simple as playing 3 steps too deep or 3 steps too shallow.

Takes a ton of discipline and attention to detail.

Safety on D. I love baiting QBs into picks making them think they're dude is open. I have good closing speed and have gotten so many picks doing that s**t

WR on offense. I have good hands and can make acrobatic type catches. Plus it's easy as hell to catch. I have to patience for people who can't catch, it makes no sense.
QB, they get all the fame and $$ and that's what I would want in the NFL. Short careers so I would want to cash in.

If I was a defensive player, LB, preferably OLB in a 3-4 rushing the passer, seems like a sack would be so awesome

QB/WR
OLB, because I'm built like one; 6'3, 260 lbs. Played DE/TE in high school and DE in Division II college and Arena Football until knees got all fu*ked up(Samoan players famous injury).
