Name some Players Who Should Change Positions, and tell us why you think so.
You can include players who are currently free agents too if you want.
We' see plenty of guys change positions from college to the pros. Edelman, Denard Robinson, Braxton Miller, Matt Jones (Jaguars), Cajuste (WR to TE), Blake Bell, etc.. We see it happen in the pros too, Pryor to WR, Ty Montgommery to RB, and CBs switch to safety and vice versa a lot. Sometimes you have a DE go to a OLB (albeit from 4-3 to 3-4, but still a position change that can is tougher than it get credit for), and then you have versatile guys like Harvin, Cordarrelle, and Tavon Austin who can play WR, RB, and Returner. And there are safeties like Mark Barron who converted to LB (Dexter Coakley is another), and vice versa like Su'a Cravens. I believe Deone Bucannon made the switch from safety to LB in the pros, and Deion Jones used to be a safety I think. Peppers and Shaq Thompson were both very versatile in college and won the Paul Hornug Award, which recognizes and lauds players for their versatility. Brian Waters played in college as a TE and DE, and then was supposed to be converted to a Center, but the Chiefs had him play at OG and he became a two-time All-Pro and 6 time Pro Bowler.
Personally, I think Tavon should get more snaps at RB, and I would have liked to have seen Wheaton at RB since he kinda reminds me of when after he catches the ball. Or at least he did in college, and his combine/pro day numbers would match up well for a RB. A lot of people say Golden Tate plays/runs like a RB once he catches the ball, but I don't think he should convert tbh.
Plus, growing up, I always liked to have players switch positions in Madden to take advantage of their specific attributes. I know that in some versions of the game, there's actually a designated period where you can make the position changes.
It'd be cool to see Shaq get some snaps at RB behind Run CMC. He could be the goal line back or something.
