I played softball one year in college. One of our QB's played right field for us. He had been scouted by the Pirates when he played HS baseball because he had a 90 MPH fastball. Unfortunately for me I played catcher and he wasn't able to throw a straight ball. One time he heaved the ball at me from deep left on a line except for the 3 feet that it moved to the right. I missed the ball and it hit me square in the thigh. You could see the seems of the ball embedded in my leg. Man that hurt.

In college we had 7-on-7 flag football intramurals. Everyone on offense was elligible receivers. I played offensive line my first year, and broke my wrist in the championship game (SUPPOSED to be non-contact). Finished the entire season with one reception. Next year, I played center, and we lost our previous quarterback (flunked out of school). It was down to 2 guys: a freshman who played quarterback in high school, and one of those all-around athletes who had played wide receiver the year before. We found out pretty quickly that mobility was much more important that passing ability. The guy who had been a QB in high school flat out SUCKED, while the guy who could move around was awesome. It was pretty funny, because for the first drive, we'd get in the huddle and he'd say you do this route, you do this route, etc. We'd score a touchdown on that drive. The next drive, he totally lost his creativity, and he'd say "everyone go out." That included us offensive linemen. The defensive line, therefore, would cover the two other offensive linemen. I'd get pretty tired after 4-5 plays (I've never been in great shape), so I quit going out for passes. But it didn't matter because there'd be no defensive linement to rush the quarterback. So I'd go out 4-5 yards and turn around. I was open ALL the time. I probably led the team in touchdown receptions one of those years. Then, when he graduated, we sucked again, because we couldn't find anyone mobile enough to play quarterback, anymore.
