I'm asking as it pertains to FB.  Would you rather have, say...a 70 speed 20 ath guy or a 50/50 guy?  Why? 

I guess I'd also like to know what athleticism means in the HD world.  My guess is something like explosiveness.

What position?  At guard, I would consider the 20/70 guy, but otherwise I would probably want the 50/50 guy.  That said, I've never run FB.

Yea - totally depends on position.  For FB I'd take speed over anything else at PG (and SG, depending on what division you're talking), but for the other positions I'd probably want the 50/50 guy (if everything else is equal).

Stamina is arguably just as important in FB too (along w/ a deep bench).

Sorry, I was thinking of the comparison in terms of guards. 

Yes, I've learned the importance of stamina.  I might even lead towards it being the most important thing in a FB offense.
