Well, on offense (the team with the ball), you have a center, who hikes the ball to the quarterback, you have two guards positioned one each next to the center, you have two tackles placed outside the two guards. Beyond this there can be many formations for the remaining 5 players (receivers, running backs, tight ends)to line up in. The rules for how they must line up are quite lengthy. On defense, again there are a multitude of ways for the players to line up. The most popular defense would probably be set up as follows: 4 down lineman, 3 linebackers, positioned approximately 2-3 yards behind the defensive lineman, two cornerbacks, lined up on the outside of the lineman to guard the receivers, and two safetys lined up approx. 4-6 yards behind the linebackers.
