Wide Receiver..!! A skill position, score lotsa TD's, but much less wear and tear than a QB or RB gets.

At my age I'd say waterman. Want to be close but not that close any more.

I would revisit my high school position and play fullback, nothing like taking a shot at somebody with a ball in your hands when they expect you to juke. Nothing fancy just pure, vicious, aggression. Also loved kickoff coverage, there was some serious hits going on out there. There was nothing like running down the field full speed and drilling some poor sucker that was looking the other way.

Good times, my friend, good times

Safety..i love to cover..i love to hit people full speed. Its fun seeing the whole field ahead of you and safety is a chance for the biggest hits because u can gain speed before tackling unlike LBs and DL. I can also drop back..show speed. be a playmaker.

I'd like to be an all-purpose throw-back FB. Good at blocking and have above average hands. I'd have to work on my blitz pick-ups, but at 5'10 and 230lbs, I've got good power for short yardage.

Strong safety

Hell... if I lost 20 years, I'd love to play linebacker.
Today, I'm more suited to play the old guy on the sidelines holding the downs marker....

I play offensive and defensive line. It's fun to be down in the trenches and the satisfactino from demolishing some guy in front of you who outweighs you by 100 lbs is undeniable.

However, the quarterback position really allows you to lead the team. If I had the physical skills, I would prefer a higher pressure position than line.

The hell with playing. I'd want to own an NFL team.

Scrum half is not like QB at all, you gotto be kiddin
