Heavy into recruiting athletes for QB/RB/Oline/Dline primarily. Especially when I have established depth. Got lucky with a monster 3 star athlete that turned into Brian Urlacher MLB as a Soph
Note. Don’t move athletes to OLB if it says “speed rusher” because it’ll glitch out and not improve. Somebody mentioned it under one of these other videos I was commenting on and said there is no speed rusher OLB. And that’s the glitch. Either use DE or MLB whenever you say speed rusher on OLB. I restarted multiple seasons because I thought it was messed up for a diff reason.
the game still having this issue is so stupid. and its not just that they wont progress - oftentimes they lose attributes. I lost -9 acceleration after moving to OLB, seeing it was glitched, then moving back to DE
Yeah I moved a guy to OLB because he had speed and was a bigger guy. Once I moved him he got “speed rusher” archetype and lost all of his mental and physical abilities. Couldn’t get them back either smh
I've done this since day one even regular physical WRs who aren't athletes transfer the same. But the glitch is when you've got a specimen athlete as a physical WR I found one who could play everywhere in the secondary and LB with 96 spd at 6'5
I take Athletes that are supposed to be power backs and i put them at DE and LE and they turn into monsters every time... platinum quick jump out of the gate ... that 89 to 93 speed they have and the weight of the power back that's over 200lbs makes the perfect beast ... I've tried it with regular RB'S and the results aren't half as good.. the Athletes are the one's that always have a huge jump in overall when you move them to DE trust me it works
I just found one of my best ever recruits as an athlete physical WR. I usually always move them to TE but he made a better DB and LB and he was 6'5 with 97 spd and Elite dev. 80 overall as a true freshman, I put him at FS but he's gonna play everywhere in the back seven including Nickel and LB in sub formations.
Run Stop LB Athlete with 90+ acceleration to DE is the move! They tend to have decent block shed (in the 70’s) and is cheap XP to improve…had a 4 star run stop LB with 92 acceleration that I moved to DE and he proceeded to have 38 sacks in his sophomore season!
I moved a dude from safety to ROLB that mfer was so nasty, went in the 1st round. I do this every off season go through and see where they can be better, I turned a QB into a HB .He was like Reggie Bush 😂😂😂
Just be careful recruiting ATH Centers if you actually need them to play Center because they're always way better at other positions, and their overall at C is lower than any other C you could have gotten. They're great to convert to defense, though. I have heard some say if you put them at TE they will develop hands after a couple of years but I haven't tried it.
Athlete centers make the best blocking fullbacks. Dudes are maulers in the run game. They are low overall year 1 but still good at blocking in the run game.
And I never move any athlete to corner because the press is way too trash. Like in the 30s and 40s but physical wr and elusive backs make good safeties. The receivers always get the house call too.
Press technique is one of the cheapest attribute upgrades for CB’s so the athlete CB can improve fast. Problem is, when you start in the 30’s it’s tough to get to 80’s like normal CB’s. I run pure zone so have had great results from turning athlete physical wr’s to CB but your point is extremely valid and worth considering if your scheme calls for more press man coverage. Great call out
@ oh yeah. I only play offense. I started watching the defense with the slow sim. Every time I see the whole defense on press I get mad and hope they’re running. Screaming at the tv like the coordinator can hear me 😭😭 even good press don’t work low key.
I do think next cycle they should nerf. Should be able to fill positions with athletes but they shouldn't be the best. Maybe label ath and like a 2way or something. But QB won't come in like that if they're that athletic historically they aren't good traditional QBs. I just don't think the ath should be the best maybe a few generational guys they're all generational lol
Have thought since ath was a thing that you shouldn't know their position right off should give some things on both sides of the ball they're good at when scouting
@@Lionheart-oi8co yeah maybe. I just got a complex mind and get bored with the game. After you know what to go after it's just a rinse and repeat motion
Good video cannon!
Air Jones! Appreciate you bro

@ good god that’s awful
Had the same thing happen to me. I was salty but he was still a beast. I run a 3-4 and he had 18 sacks back to back and couldn’t improve.
Moving Physical ATH WR’s to TE is a cheat code I highly recommend
It’s actually fairly equal, they have terrible route running caps, they are bad vs man..
I've done this since day one even regular physical WRs who aren't athletes transfer the same. But the glitch is when you've got a specimen athlete as a physical WR I found one who could play everywhere in the secondary and LB with 96 spd at 6'5
Agreed, physical athlete to TE, FS/SS, CB or OLB is the move
ATH run stoppers are elite. I had a 3-star gem in my Texas St dynasty that was a 95 with 94 speed his senior szn

I recruit physical WR with size and speed, then move them to TE. I do that with LB also. I recruit MLB with speed and move them to OLB.
I had a 4 star ATH power back.. he was 5’9 and I put him on at DE… proceeded to wing Lombardi and heisman 3 years in a row 😭😭
Do you remember what is attributes were? Speed, acceleration, DL moves etc?
This video was really helpful and has changed my recruitment strategy in my online leagues
Appreciate it bro
Sarcasm: My favorite is recruiting 81 speed ATH who are 6'1", 186 and really only useful as a QB. Love those guys.
They are bad😂
Had a 5star gem MLB was a 79. Moved to SS went to a 84.
Yes sir I drafted a 92 speed ath, put him at TE and I love his game right now.
Yessir!

Late to the video, but I've found that ATH Scramblers fumble WAY less than scrambling QBs
Run Stop LB Athlete with 90+ acceleration to DE is the move! They tend to have decent block shed (in the 70’s) and is cheap XP to improve…had a 4 star run stop LB with 92 acceleration that I moved to DE and he proceeded to have 38 sacks in his sophomore season!
Possession athletes off the edge >>>>
That’s my go to.
Word ! I got a 5star and put him at de that man won a heisman
@@ogkrefloo697 damn
The word intense in trait description what does this mean!! Is this same as a passion athlete
You find a 90+ speed ath qb and most the time they can be a very solid man to man cb
I moved a dude from safety to ROLB that mfer was so nasty, went in the 1st round.
I do this every off season go through and see where they can be better, I turned a QB into a HB .He was like Reggie Bush 😂😂😂

Bro I moved an athlete guard to TE & my run game was DOMINANT! He had an 80 speed as well.
Athlete centers make the best blocking fullbacks. Dudes are maulers in the run game. They are low overall year 1 but still good at blocking in the run game.
Athlete WR Physical at Safety and then move them to your SUBLB and user it.. so much fun to use
Yeah but what are their caps at those positions?
Move an ath qb to db; they explode
5 star athlete Centers are the absolute goat Oline
Facts!
Good dlineman too
Great new dynasty idea for sure. Any offense/defense playbook suggestions for a team like this?
So basically if you're at a low star school recruit athletes to make it easier
Yessir !
Ath WR is the best archetype. I’ll switch them to user ROLB. Mostly CB & FS.
And I never move any athlete to corner because the press is way too trash. Like in the 30s and 40s but physical wr and elusive backs make good safeties. The receivers always get the house call too.

dont sleep on the ATH DE's , found an 85 & 87 spd 6'6 gems that got my defense #1 in the nation . can move em anywhere.
Most OP athlete of all aside from QBs are CENTERS. They make monster Dlinemen
Ive been saying this! Great video, keep grinding bro..
Appreciate you bro!!
@CallMeJaden appreciate the videos you putting out bro!!!
Just imagine having 85/86 speed DTs with 90+ strength
Bro you killing it with content, appreciate the work
Appreciate it bro, I’m grinding!
Intense player! What is an intense player
I’m sold🎯
Bettt
shhhhhhhhh, let people figure it out on their own
That’s on me lol
Maybe it's just me, but the majority of the ATH's i scout end up being busts so I tend to stay away from them lol
Really? I feel like I find more gems there
I do think next cycle they should nerf. Should be able to fill positions with athletes but they shouldn't be the best. Maybe label ath and like a 2way or something.

That’s adding too much, and making it too complicated. It’s fine just the way at it is the athletes.
