A different puzzle: you already know who the player is. You’re shown his name, position, and the number of stops in his career — then a bank of teams. Tap teams from the bank into the route slots in the order he played for them.

Stuck? Scout reveals one team on the route — but it costs a down. Solve it in as few downs as you can.

Try Route Builder

A separate mode: you get a career route and the position — nothing else. One guess per player. A correct call brings the next player; a miss ends the run. Runs start friendly and pull from deeper journeyman territory as your streak grows — survive ten straight and the real deep cuts come out. Your best run is tracked on this device.
