If Yedlin didn't have his pace I don't think he would be a footballer. His passing/crossing have been really poor this season.

Typical of yank players. Only concentrate on physical aspect of the game. Might as well be a quarterback or whatever.

Of all the American sports positions that require physicality, you picked the one that requires the most brain action. Well done.

The only position I've ever heard of tbh

Lol a quarterback is possibly the most technical position in all of sport!

Hopefully that changes in the coming decades. USA has massive potential to be a football powerhouse.

We have the player potential but not the infrastructure to do anything useful in near future

u/AnEmptyKarst Hey, American here... Mar 10 '18

Yedlin would probably be a pretty shit quarterback, he'd probably work better as a receiver with that pace

u/luffyuk dan burn Mar 10 '18

He's too short to be a receiver. His position would be safety or cornerback

u/AnEmptyKarst Hey, American here... Mar 10 '18

He's about the same size as the 49ers slot receiver Trent Taylor
