I know that this is college, but it still deserves to get mentioned, Kyle Vantrease was a kicker at a 2-4 Buffalo team. When the starting qb was injured, he took over as qb and led the team to a 7-5 season in 2019 and a bowl win. The team is 10-2 since he took over, he only has 6 touchdowns this year because star running back Jaret Patterson has lead the offense. They are headed to their 3rd straight bowl game
I'm going to be the asshole who adds context. Vantrese was a fulltime backup QB. But the starting punter, Evan Finegan got hurt at Penn State. So he became the punter, then the starting QB, Matt Myers goes out with an injury, then he takes over the starting punting and QB job, leading them to a bowl game.
Ben Garland from DT to guard and center. Patrick Ricard from DT to FB. Alejandro Villanueva from college WR, to NFL try-out as DE and TE, to starting at OL. Tom Tupa from punter to QB.
@@brandongordon2392 They are indeed lit and I can fault no man for falling prey to their insidious deliciousness...but if you do, you ain’t gonna tote the rock. You gonna be the rock.
Roy Green played for St Louis Cardinals in the 80s. He started his career as a cornerback, spending two years that position, playing WR part-time until he officially switched to offense full-time. was a great kick returner as well. One of few players to have scored touchdowns on both offense and defense in the same game.
Logan Thomas was actually a tight end his freshman year and was switched back to QB then back to a tight end. He also caught a td pass his freshman year, that was thrown by Tyrod
Wow! Did I miss Frank Gifford? Pro Bowl DB, RB and WR. Played defensive back his first 2 years, half back until he had a very serious injury, then came back as a WR. Ray Rhodes is another former Giant that switched positions.
to be honest back in the day of frank gifford you played both offense and defense so the DB should be removed but the RB and WR should not once he was leveled by Chuck Bednarik and left for dead he switched pos. becoming a Pro Bowler at both RB and WR
@@edwardg9321 Players were either offense or defense by the time Gifford entered the league. He made the pro bowl as a DB before Jim Lee Howell dropped him from defense, then made the pro bowl as a HB, then WR.
With the way the NFL is going I could see this happening more & more, now teams are willing to take a player who is a pure athlete & figure out how to use them later, the next big success i see happening will be Christian McCaffery, once he gets to 29/30 i could easily see him transitioning from RB to slot WR in order to extend his career by a few years
Sad thing with Tim Tebow is his NFL teams wanted to switch him to TE or similar and he may have been good at it if he did, but he kept refusing to move off QB.
Thought for sure I’d see Richard Sherman. He was a WR at Stanford and I think he came into the league as a WR before going over to CB... and I just looked. He changed to CB in college. Never mind.
Todd Christensen. Drafted as a Running back by Dallas. Signed by the Raiders in 1980 as a long snapper and then went on to have a great career as a tight end.
If you want to go real far back don’t forget about Frank Gifford. The man was a pro bowl running back had some really bad injuries left a sport for a year and came back and went to two pro bowl’s as a wide receiver.
Following on this idea- baseball has plenty of position changes, but a few are stranger such as Rick Ankiel from pitcher to outfield. I’m no historian so you can probably find better
@Aidan Schirra Babe Ruth still has the record for most consecutive scoreless innings in the World Series and has more career shutouts than Clayton Kershaw
Ahhh 2011... so many injuries. From Jules having to play as the slot CB to Slater almost having to step in as the FS. It's still kind of shocking they managed to make it to the SB that year.
@@HurppHD ehh, if we give anyone from that 2011 team the tone setter title, it would have to be Logan Mankins. 2011 was the year he played the entire season with a torn ACL in his right knee, and then he tore his left MCL in the 1st playoff game. A lot of teammates didn't even know he was injured until they read news stories about him having surgery. Fucking beast.
I don't know... the way McSorley looked vs Cleveland before Lamar finished his dump and came back in, I'm not sure Trace is NFL starter caliber right now or if he'll ever be.
Numbers assigned in the NFL corresponds to a player's position (and eligibility to receive the ball or not, mainly on offense), so yes, a recently converted wideout turned corner can keep wearing the 10s or 80s for the rest of the season. However, if the player chooses to permanently convert in this case (offense to defense), the number must change. If the player returns to being a wideout or converts to running back, the number can be retained. Off-topic, Devin Hester originally wore #23 as a Bear because his primary position was originally as a cornerback, even though most punt and kick returners are usually drawn from the receiver corps (and wear 10s or 80s).
Nolan Cromwell. Kansas quarterback, honorable mention All-American in 1975, one of only ten Kansas 1,000 yard rushers, drafted 2nd by the Rams, and became an NFL safety. 1980 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, 3x First Team All-Pro, named to the NFL 1980s All-Decade team. Also: All-American in track, winner of the 600 yard run and 440 intermediate hurdles.
As a QB switching positions from having the ball in your hands every play to hoping the guy standing in your spot throws it to you is mental torture congrats to the guys who were able to do it on the biggest stage.
Montgomery just started at RB for the Saints today after their entire RB roster got tossed by the NFL today. He was on their active roster as a WR, so this still appiles ;)
You could put someone like Tyreek Hill on here who was drafted to play that hybrid RB/WR role but committed himself to WR and became one of the greatest deep threats in NFL history. He ranks 5th in yards currently but 11th in receptions in 2020 and he also leads the league in receiving TDs with 15. Not bad for a 5th round pick.
Just this year alone, Deebo Samuel, Cordarrelle Patterson, and Kendrick Bourne, all of whom used to be exclusively wide receivers, have all settled into WR/RB hybrid roles. Not sure if that counts, but it's still cool.
This is random, but... The NCAA football game had Logan Thomas listed as a Tight End coming into his freshman year at Virginia Tech. The only reason I know that is because I almost won the Heisman with him in an online Dynasty with 7 or 8 of my friends. Ahhh the good ol days of NCAA football. #bringItBack!
Would be great to see more teams pull the number trick... draft in later rounds or something a RB or receiver who could do well at another spot, play him at his original position for his rookie year, then switch him to something else so he can keep his number out of position. (The NFL should probably loosen or dump the uniform number rule anyway)
Unlike in basketball, baseball, hockey, and soccer, where players competent at multiple positions are seen as better-rounded players, it's just not really a thing in football. Any idea why?

It’s always like that, it’s quarterback, then kicker, then punter
So like the story of George Blanda. He mained kicker but when the qb was injured he started at qb and he was great at it.
@@sert173 no, Blanda was originally signed to play as both a QB and kicker (he also played linebacker too)
Devin Hester played corner as a rookie and kept his #23 when he moved to receiver before his 2nd season.
Yeah I always wondered how he had 23 as a reciever
@@chickenpop8467 He wore 23 in high school too.
@@chickenpop8467 well a RB can also wear #23 so I guess they let it slide there but not a WR so basically a Ty Montgomery thing

Darren Waller was drafted as a WR and played WR for the first year on the Ravens
In Today's offense there is not much difference between a WR and a TE. Waller spend a lot of snaps with the Raiders lined up in the Slot.
I wanted Pryor.. just because he proved himself as a receiver, and hell, think of the trick plays!
Roy Green played for St Louis Cardinals in the 80s.
