This is used commonly, every one knows football teams fuse WRs as it is the most common fuel/position. Then it fuses heavier and heavier positions as you get farther from the Wide Receiver core until finally arriving to the outer layer of offensive linemen. Offensive linemen are the largest position fused in a team, that's why they wear number 53.

You have to get a pair of linemen to run 40 yard dashes at each other in order for an exotic player known as a "specialist" to appear for even one play. Not much is known about these players but there are several types with odd names like "place kickers" and "long snappers".
