re: Why is Speedy listed as a receiver instead of an athlete?

During his 7v7 tournaments he lined up as receiver. It's his natural projected position. While he could be a solid defensive back, he is more suited skill wise as a wide out. He isn't built to last as a rb, and many high schools play their best athlete at the qb position. More touches, more play break downs, so much more of an in game advantage at the high school level.

Same reason Ronald Martin, Shepard, Reuben randle, etc. played qb in high school. More of a read option, or wild cat style than pro style. Think auburn a offense or Oregon vs. Alabama or lsu
