Wide Receiver or Corner Back?

[Chiefs=Champions]

Which position would you rather play and which should I play?





So I’m playing seniors gridiron here in Australia this year. This is the highest level in Australia (which regrettably is not very good at all) and its basically open to 19 years and up. This will be my first year as a senior and I have a choice of which position I play.. In the past I have played more QB than anything but with an already established player at that position I have to choose to play CB or WR. At the moment there are quite a few WRs on the depth chart and I am already behind in regards to practice and learning the playbook, on account of injury. Furthermore there is far less depth at the corner position and if I was to play there I would play almost immediately. However I would much rather play receiver and that it really a much more natural position for me (IMHO).

So Chiefsplanet ballers and coaches what are some of the aspects and positives of each postion and which should i pick?

You should go for whatever makes you happy, though recognizing that corner may give you a better chance to get on the field.

If it was me, I'd be thrilled to play corner. Other than free safety, no position on the field is better than cornerback. There's no better feeling than breaking up what would otherwise be a touchdown, or stepping in front of a receiver to make an interception.

If you show a knack for the INT and running after the catch, maybe your coach lets you play a little of both... just seems you might have a chance to shine as CB.

I played DE and WR in High school, wanted to be a WR so much more than a DE, but was ultimately better at DE once I gave it a go.

All valid points again! Thx man.. Yer no doubt that if i could get some ints im sure that would sufice my desire to run with the ball... Yer perhaps i should go with what im best at rather than what i want to play... this is turning into a real head scratcher thats for sure...

If you have a passion for something, anything in life, you're bound to put in your best effort forward and excel.

Good luck and have fun!

Thanks Dane really appreciate it! Gah im so confused! I think ill go out and try both and see which i enjoy more and just go with it, like you say..

Cheers!
