So what was your reason for making Eric Metcalf a bonus answer, and not say Harmon and Byars who also had seasons where their primary role was as a receiver?

I could be mistaken on this but to my knowledge, Harmon and Byars were not actually ever split out as a WR regularly - they came out of the backfield from the traditionally defined RB/FB position (even though their role was mainly as a receiver/blocker). During his Atlanta days Metcalf usually (but not always) lined up as a WR in June Jones' Run and Shoot Offense; untangling when Metcalf lined up as a WR and when he lined up in a traditional RB position is too difficult without film so I decided to leave him as a bonus answer.

Keith Byars was actually moved to TE at one point. I think it was only for a season or two (his last year with Philly, and then again in Miami).

call me OCD, but the capitalization in this quiz is really pissing me off

I agree, capitalization made it hard to read. TOUGH quiz though, you really got to dig for some of those fullbacks. Michael Pittman also snuck up on me, only player who penetrated this decade that I couldn't get besides Larry Centers.

Caps changed; I left Byars up because he only played a couple of years at TE and would have still made the list if you eliminated those years he played TE; Metcalf would not have made the list if only his time in Cleveland was included.
