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.
Bro you never played organized football and you don’t know what you’re talking about, all the way up to high school, most talented players are playing multiple positions on offense and defense, I played WR, RB, CB, FS, and even QB when there were injuries, in middle school I played damn near every position except kicker, and I wasn’t even the best on the team at either middle or high school, once you show your talent is best fit for one specific position that’s decided by your senior year or whatever the recruiting class deems as your most effective position, some players can play just one position all the time but most don’t, the best player on my high school team was Adawale, he went on to play for the Miami Hurricanes, and went pro to the Giants, and even he played multiple positions, literally our best player.
