I'm close to 70 and will not go anything above that.

But that's just me

Highest would be 50. Just for cuts. You should work on Speed, Strength, Confidence, and Carrying once you hit around that and still work on those while improving agility

50?? really? the furthest i ever built a HB was to lvl 30, so im far from an expert on HBs, but im pretty sure HBs, regardless of type, need more than 50 agility. as coach823 said, i would imagine 70/70+ would probably be the ideal, otherwise you wont be able to accelerate to the hole, or be able to accelerate after breaking a tackle.

Certainly early on PB's can do without agility or vision.. I think a lot of people leave speed til too late.

Its going to be interesting tho.. because they run straight at the tackler how much will conf affect them? Hopefully not too much or it might make them redundant.

Really agility should be higher than you'd think because otherwise all that happens is you break a tackle... and then gain a half yard with agility/speed you break the tackle and are able to accelerate enough to gain more yardage/break more tackles.

P much this.

More won't hurt you but you will have to sacrifice in other areas.

73 natural agility would be a good endgame goal for a PB imo.

WoW, really i was going to get my agility up into the 80's.
Maybe I wont go that high now.

Would only take it to 68 with SPs and let it level from there.

Good agility is needed for breaking tackles. Also, power backs tend to be heavier so more agility is needed to have good acceleration. IMO, 70 is a bit too low.

You are wrong then.

I'm building a Power-based KR/PR [in a couple of days] and was going to try to get Agility towards 80 and throw the CE on top of that. I really appreciate the thread and discussion. Thanks.

It's different if you're making a returner.

As a returner I would definitely push agility to the upper 70s natural since you're going to have to make some quick cuts, plus it'll help spin more.
