PLAYER DESCRIPTIONS (not explained in video)
Offense
C = Center – Offensive linemen (OL) who lines up in the middle and snaps the ball to the QB.
RG/LG = Right/Left Guard – OL who line up on opposite sides of the Center, blocks and creates gaps for RB.
RT/LT = Right/Left Tackle – OL who line up on the edges and are in charge of outside protection.
TE = Tight End – Hybrid of an OL and WR who blocks but also catches passes.
FB = Fullback – Also considered an RB but is used for power running in short distances and catching (usually larger than the RB)
Defense
DE = Defensive End – Defensive Linemen (DL) who lines up on the outer sides.
DT = Defensive Tackle – DL who lines up in the interior of the line.
OLB/ILB = Outside/Inside Linebacker – Same position and duties but where they are placed on the field during a formation is different.
FS = Free Safety – Placed on the weak side of the defensive backfield to watch the ball as the play unfolds.
SS = Strong Safety – Placed on the strong side of the defensive backfield to play closer to the line in stopping the run or covering the Tight End.
Special Teams
LS = Long Snapper – sole job is to snap the ball to the Punter.
PR/KR = Punt/Kick Returner – Return punts/kick offs; sometimes is the same person or split between two players.

American Football can be a tough sport to learn. After understanding the basics from the video, is there a specific aspect of the game you'd like to learn more about?
this is the worst video of explaining a spot fucking ever
This just made love the actual ⚽ more. My god this is complicated.
Thank you for this video, I’ve been trying to learn football because of my boyfriend and because I’ve wanted to for awhile, this video made it a lot easier to understand
Watching in uk where we get harrased by teachers for throwing rugby balls like nfl balls
These American sports are so hard
I don’t understand how it would be 53.3 yards for each side if it’s 120 yards bc 53.3 + 53.3 would be 106.6 I know I’m wrong but I can’t find how it I am wrong can someone help me with my math lol
You lost me at first minute idk what a offensive team is, don’t know what a line a scrimmage is or a down. I m lost
Hello. Loved the way you make it sound so simple the rules of Football. I have just one question, is there any ruling that prevents a player from being part of both the offense and the defense in a team's roster?
look how fat and unattractive the guy interrupting was and look how handsome the guy interviewing was. That shows a lot
NFL Football is king, take that baseball
I am a cricket fan (Also Soccer) from Bangladesh, but I found American Football is so interesting. It's one of my favorite game now. I learnt the Baseball rules lately and found that amazing too. But NFL is way interesting than that. (Sorry Baseball fans)
Wish this was played in the UK 🇬🇧😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
For example Dez Caught it
I lost it halfway its so complicated lol
You explained the penalties so well bro
Thank you for sharing this video. God bless you.
Im very confused
It is so complex and fast
Explain it slower
Do baseball
I wish they could be clearer in pronouncing can vs cannot vs cant. It hard to understand, but great video nonetheless.
