What positions do most injuries occur?

[Bill in Sinton]

I know that all positions have injjuries but some occur more than others which make them have more risk than others. I am sure that studies have been doen but could any of you share information?

At UT, it appears to be the TE position

At first I thought this was another Tiger Woods-related thread. (Sorry, I couldn't resist)

Within arms length of Elin when she's got a 3 iron!

The highest rate of injuries by position are those that use an appliance suspended from the ceiling.

Mainly interior lineman, but you can throw in TE. They aren't always serious, but you can see somebodys leg get rolled up on almost once a game.

The keg-stand position?

[vculou]

standing in a hammock (pocket?) can injure the QB if he has no "long game"

 

[centexorange]

Well i have had shoulder and ankle injuries from throwing **** at and kicking the tv at times.

After watching videos of recent lb commit Edmond, my prediction is most injuries will be to tight ends and running backs who stray into his part of the field. When he arrives there those guys stop like a Mini Cooper hitting a power pole.
