Tight end, 6'4", 220 lbs., 4.70 40-yard dash

You have the kind of athleticism that can't be taught. But there are things you still need to learn...like math and how not to get into fights with your teammates at practice. Your attitude is poisonous and your academic performance isn't any better.

Kicker, 5'8", 170 lbs., 4.80 40-yard dash 

You're a soccer player who decided to try out for the football team. You've got the leg to make it, but do nerves of steel run through your veins? Are you clutch enough to sink the game-winning field goal? Because we're going to break it to you—if not, you're not going to make it.

Offensive lineman, 6'4", 300 lbs., 5.50 40-yard dash

You've always been a big dude, but this has gotten out of hand. Your size alone will get you a spot on most college rosters, but you'll have to work on your conditioning or else you'll lose your spot.

Quarterback, 6'2", 190 lbs., 4.90 40-yard dash

You're third on the depth chart and probably won't see any play time. You could transfer to a smaller program where you'll see more of the field, or you could live the easy life on the bench. You're not quite sure what you're going to do.

Running back, 5'10", 200 lbs., 4.65 forty-yard dash

You've got the size and ability to keep climbing the depth chart. You can handle the physical punishment of the sport at the college level. You can handle the stresses that come with the territory. You're going for it.
