It fits best at slot receiver with a fit of 69.7 — 88th of 1025 at that position, and 7th in Kanto. Its next best use is wide receiver at 69.4.
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.
