It fits best at slot receiver with a fit of 53.3 — 321st of 1025 at that position, and 43rd in Kanto. Its next best use is cornerback at 52.8.
The most Speed-dependent position in the game, and the second-quickest after wide receiver. A little Sp. Def helps for contested catches, but if it isn't fast it doesn't play here. Replaces the fullback in slot offenses.
