Five-star running back says he’ll instead play linebacker in order to have longer term NFL career
We’ve heard for several years now about the devaluation of the running back at the NFL level. Now that may even be filtering down a few levels to top recruits considering how they want their college careers to play out.
Speaking to the Washington Post this week, Charlotte (NC) Harding running back Quavaris Crouch disclosed that while he’s one of the best at his positions in the country in the class of 2019, he’ll be playing linebacker at the next level because stopping tailbacks pays a lot more than running the ball in the NFL.
“I want to be smart about it,” Crouch told the paper. “My passion is running back. I love to play running back. I love to score touchdowns. Realistically, I feel like linebacker is the best for me.”

Frankly, I'm surprised more players don't do this, i.e. switch positions from RB or QB, wtc. to improve their chances at a longer NFL career.
