Anyone can line up anywhere. Each position weighs the five ratings its own way, and off the natural position a legend loses a few points.

Pros: The only one here who already played. Won the 1912 Olympic pentathlon and decathlon, starred in pro football, and was the first president of the league that became the NFL.
Cons: None. We looked.
Pro comp: Saquon Barkley
