The American football guide is here! A beginner’s guide on how the sport known as football works! In Sports 101, Guide to American Football, I explain the essentials to equip you with the proper knowledge to understand the basics to this popular sport in America.

*CORRECTION* – The Delay of Game penalty also applies to the defense, NOT just the offense. While it is rarely called, the Defense can incur a Delay of Game penalty if they impede the Offense’s ability to line up or fail to return the ball promptly for the next play. When this occurs, the Down is replayed, and the Offense is awarded a 5-yard gain.

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.
