In team sports, a position is the role and placement of an individual player within the arrangement of players on the field of play during a game. Many sports measure performance of individual players based on standards for their specific positions.
This position is used in 3-4 formations, or goal line situations. Most nose tackles are 320-350 pounds, and are the biggest players on the roster. This position is the most physically demanding, due to being forced into constant double or triple teams, and needing enough speed to collapse the interior of the offensive line.
The fluid nature of the modern game means that positions in football are not as rigidly defined as in sports such as rugby or American football. Even so, most players will play in a limited range of positions throughout their career, as each position requires a particular set of skills and physical attributes.
