Sherrod martin needs to switch to concessions

So we don't get offtrack what I am asking of those who know more about football than I do, is how do these coaches decide a position move is for the best. What is the criteria:

Body type

measurables

intangibles

family history

height

Gut feeling of Coach

The Alabama Coach who recruited Bo Jackson told him he probably wouldn't play until he was a junior. (What did that coach see) Why was Bo Jackson recruited to Auburn to be a Linebacker, and after a couple practices were over they switched him to offense?

Imagine an athlete so gifted that the very abundance of his gifts worked to obscure his greatness. That's a tough concept to latch on to, but consider Jackson's case. "We knew the body was a great talent, but we didn't know he was that great a back in high school," says Auburn coach Pat Dye. And who could tell? At McAdory High in McCalla, Ala., he'd only carry the ball 11 times a game because he was so busy playing every down on defense, returning kicks, kicking off, punting and kicking PATs and field goals.

Well, Martin is different....he and Godfrey were both CBs in college. Fox coverted both. Fox never did that well...TD being the exception

Nope. Martin was a safety at Troy and was originally expected to play CB.
