So an update on my FB that I made a while ago.
http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=1157755

By level 8, he'll have 60 agility naturally.
Right now I'm still having a debate about what to go after next. My current rough draft looks somewhat like this:

1) Agility to 68 (Lv 12)
2) Blocking to 48 (Lv 16)
3) Strength to 48 (Lv 20)
4) Vision to 48
5) Speed to 60

The whole time I'll be training strength/blocking, then speed/stamina and occasionally jump/catch.

How is that pass focused? What is your reasoning?

If you're going that direction, I think I'd find a team that knows how to use the custom depth chart properly and completely forgo blocking.

When I mean pass focused, it's kind of the opposite of the tradition FB who is lead blocking rushing plays, or rushing himself sometimes.
This guy will be used in the passing game where he'll either stay inside to block, or go out for a pass. Since there aren't too many great "long" FB routes at the moment, agility seems like a great choice to pump up for both blocking and receiving.

OP updated. This may take longer than I anticipated.

I've recently been reworking my FB towards this end. Here's where I'm at right now:

Level 39:

Strength: 61.94 (+2)
Speed: 68.88 (+20)
Agility: 56.49 (+2)
Jumping: 16
Stamina: 32.53
Vision: 48.56
Confidence: 32.52
Blocking: 59.94 (+2)
Catching: 32.14
Carrying: 45.81

Blocking: 3-3-3-4-3 (Custom Equipment Bonus)
Offensive: 2-2-4-1-2

VA's: Bruiser(5), Goal Line Back, Short Yardage Monster, Clutch (4 Each).

Moved a TON of SP's off Strength/Blocking into primarily Speed, and Agility.

Still have some reworking to do (Custom Equipment), and training as well (Speed, Agility, Jumping, Vision, Catching), but it's a start.

When he hits Level 40 (two more Games), he'll be ready to start playing a role in the Passing Offense. With our Offense, it's tough, because we already have so many threats, to find enough footballs to go around, but if anyone's interested, I'll keep you all posted on how this works out.

Good Luck!

Definitely a nicely rounded build.
