Quarterback -This player throws the ball to receivers or hands it off to running backs. The quarterback is also known as the field general, because hes the on-the-field leader.
Offensive linemen-These players provide blocking for the quarterback and running backs. Individual lineman positions include:
Center -The center is located in the middle of the line. This player hikes the ball to the quarterback by bringing the ball up between his legs.
Guards -These two players flank the center.
Tackles -The tackles are positioned on the outside of each guard;teams have two tackles.
Receivers-Receivers run down the field and catch balls thrown by the quarterback. Receivers are either wide receivers or tight ends .depending on where they are positioned on the field.
