A player who fills multiple positions on the offensive side of the ball, such as Cobb, who frequently lines up as a receiver, running back, and wildcat quarterback. Marecic does not fit this mold; he is instead a starting fullback and linebacker, and was the only player in Division I (either FBS or FCS) in 2010 who started on both offense and defense.
