I just accepted a job as the Head Coach of Arizona in my other Dynasty and advanced to the pre-season.  I am looking for a mobile QB and it struck me that I've found a lot of good ones as Athletes that were converted to play QB.  I know there has been a lot of success in taking athletes and converting them to play QB, RB, WR and DB.  However, has anyone come across a player that was labeled as an Athlete that had the ability to play either OL or DL or maybe LB or TE?  I know the Athlete label is basically reseverd for QB, RB, WR and DB's but I was wondering if they had some bigger guys in there that had the ability to play O or D.

Anyone see a player with decent blocking and block shedding ratings?

Anyone actually recruit a player like this?

They're definitely in there. I believe I lost an athlete recruit that was 280 pounds this season or last. When recruiting from the website they show defensive skills, but I never see offensive line skills.  So I usually have to go off their measurements and strength and if they don't work at defense, I only hope they work at offense.

Yeah, I landed this dude this season:

You're right, though. Probably 95% of them are WRs, HBs or DBs.

I agree with everything stated already. I do have an ATH that is still on my board that I believe will be a TE, but besides QB, WR, RB, or DB, they are far and few between.
