What do these SU greats have in common?Art Monk, John Mackey,

[CaliCuse]

and Larry Csonka. In an opposite manner Jim Brown.Ther e are other s but these remain the big fish in this category. Monk Mackey and Csonka experienced position change at made them into HOF players at the next level. Big Jim was not changed from RB to lineman despite the urging of one of the assist, coachesThere are others I'm sure but these stand out in my mind. Maybe Ron Thompson will join these legends on the list of great position changes.

Diamond Ferri
Doug Womack did ok, I guess.
Kevin Johnson's pos change definitely worked out for him, although it was O-to-O.

I'm totally drawing a blank on Gregory being an offensive player. I assume he was a receiver?

Yes, for a season. Then he went back to defense, which he was better at.
