The way it's supposed to be as I understand it (traditionally):
1-19: quarterbacks, kickers and punters
20-49: halfbacks, fullbacks, cornerbacks, safeties
50-59: linebackers and centers
60-69: guards, linebackers
70-79: offensive and defensive tackles
80-89: tight ends, wide receivers, defensive ends
90-99: defensive linemen, sometimes linebackers

They just changed the position requirements 2 years ago so that receivers could wear 10-19.
