# Player Positions

&#x20;**All SuperStars have EXACTLY one position, and users cannot change positions once the game begins.**

&#x20;**There are 8 positions total in** :football:**STG Football: (4 on offense, and 4 on defense)**\
\
\&#xNAN;***Offense*****:**

* *<mark style="color:blue;">**Quarterback**</mark>* - Initiates action and handles the “snap.” He either hands the ball to the Running Back or passes the ball to a WR. He may also run with the ball.
* *<mark style="color:blue;">**Running Back**</mark>* - Lining up either behind or beside the QB, he runs, he catches, he blocks and he’ll even throw a pass occasionally.&#x20;
* <mark style="color:blue;">**Wide Receiver**</mark> - Typically pass catchers. They start the play split out wide from the rest of the formation and run routes for the QB to throw to.&#x20;
* <mark style="color:blue;">**Flex**</mark> -  :football:STG Football's version of Tight End, this position will be a blocker or pass catcher. Typically a bit slower but powerful.

\
\&#xNAN;***Defense*****:**

* *<mark style="color:blue;">**Linebacker**</mark>* *-* Linebackers traditionally support the defensive line. Usually covers RB and Flex (Tight Ends) for passing and tackling.
* *<mark style="color:blue;">**Cornerback**</mark>* - Spends most of their time covering Wide Receivers. They also support the run and might be asked to blitz the QB.
* *<mark style="color:blue;">**Safety**</mark>* - Commonly considered the center fielder, and thus the last line of the defense. Safety should be fast and strong and prevent long yardage plays.&#x20;
* *<mark style="color:blue;">**Rusher**</mark>* - Related to :football:STG Football, this position will be the player that rushes when a play is called to go after the QB. Rusher may also at times be asked to drop back into coverage for passing plays. \ <br>
