Phillip Dorsett a HB?

Phillip Dorsett has started an uprising. I have recently changed the wide receiver to half back because of injury circumstances. Once the 96 speed wide receiver was spotted in the back field it came to the attention of the SFL chat. The question was asked, “Does the league need to have more in depth set of rules on switching players to different positions?” I think Yes, I would like to see a more in depth rule set of switching players it would help people such as myself learn what the normal is for each position. Mostly size was the cause of the uproar. Does Dorsett or others of his size and stature have what it takes to be a half back? The only real example of a wide receiver turning to half back that is around the same size as Dorsett is Tavon Austin. Austin is 5’9 and 174 pounds. After Tavon was mentioned in the chat it was told to me that he is a “world class athlete.” Which is true in my opinion but Dorsett is 11 pounds heavier. Dorsett might just be really fast but he is still a hell of an athlete. Many of the greats that have played in the NFL have been of the same size of Dorsett. For example, Walter Payton was 5’10 200 pounds. One of the greatest halfbacks all time was of the same height and 15 more pounds. Also there was Barry Sanders he was 5’8 200 pounds. Yes, they are both 15 pounds more than Dorsett but they are 26 pounds more than Tavon Austin. All I’m saying is that Phillip Dorsett to half back isn’t as crazy as you think.
