Not the position, the scoring.

According to Wikipedia, it's possible to score a 1-point safety. Have you ever seen this in a game?

College football rules allow either team to score a one-point safety after a touchdown. Say that Team B blocks Team A's extra-point attempt, and a player on Team B picks up the ball on the 1-yard line. Looking for an opening, the player with the ball runs backwards voluntarily into his end zone, where he is tackled. Team A receives one point for the conversion safety, and the score is now 7–0.

Have never seen it but this is something we do drill into guy's heads. It is so unusual we do not want them to blow it if it happens
