    For more than 20 years of football in high school, college and the pros, Fred Biletnikoff played just one position - wide receiver. He had no desire to try another position on the team. "I like catching passes," he always insisted. "And I like playing outside. I would be lost if I were ever told to do anything on a football field except catch passes."
