Offenses will typically have a quarterback, two running backs, three linemen (guard, center, guard), and then a wide receiver and tight end on the end of the line, plus another wideout or tight end.

What positions are on the offensive line?
Offensive Line – There are five offensive linemen. In order from left to right, they are: the Left Tackle (LT), Left Guard (LG), Center (C), Right Guard (RG) and Right Tackle (RT). It is their job to either pass block for the QB so he has time to throw or run block for the RB or FB.
Cornerback is the hardest position in football. It requires not only near-superhuman physical skills but also extreme mental discipline. Great cornerbacks are fast, agile, and tough, and they quickly learn from their mistakes.
offensive tackle The offensive tackle (OT, T) is a position on the offensive line, left and right. Like other offensive linemen, their job is to block: to physically keep defenders away from the offensive player who has the football and enable him to advance the football and eventually score a touchdown.
Football: SportVu found that cornerbacks and wide receivers, who tend to run the most, run about 1.25 miles per game, so its safe to assume most players run less. An analysis by the Wall Street Journal found the average American football player only moves, let alone runs, for 11 minutes per game.
The easiest position on offense may be the receiver. He has limited responsibility and most plays may have nothing to do with him at all.
Centers play an integral part of the offensive line and act as the primary protector of the quarterback after the snap. The center is often referred to as the smartest person on the field next to the quarterback, in the sense that the center acts as the lines mind.
