5. Football would be nothing without positions. If there were no positions in football then nobody would know what to do. Whether you are on offense or kick off you will always have a position to play. There are 20 main positions and they are on offense and defense. If you don’t know your position when you are on the field most of the time the other team will get a lot of yards.
