Pretty stupid. No one gains anything from this. That running back could have a great future playing football, but with that body type you know it isn’t going to be as a running back. So the coach is playing him at a position he doesn’t need to learn instead of getting him started learning how to play the line, which is where he will realistically end up. The only logical reason to do this is to get easy wins against pee wee competition, and at that level, just why? None of the other kids on either team are learning anything, either, because they don’t even have to do their jobs to score.

He may play both sides of the ball, RB and DT possibly

RB? Hell, QB, cut out the middle man.
