Senior going into 1st year of fb. Looking for guidance

I’m a senior going into my first year of fb. I’m 6’3 (6’4 in cleats), 290lbs right now but have experience both cutting and gaining weight will be down to ~260 by the end of training camp and will maintain that for the season because I want to play on the line. I have very quick feet and hips and a strong core from playing rugby, but my top end speed isn’t very good. I bench 240lbs and am good at leveraging my height against people taller and shorter than me. Our lineman room isn’t stacked this year, and I’m confident that I will start, seeing as our team average size on the line right now is 5’9 230 and not strong. I have overall very good sport instincts but am scared I may struggle to recognize defensive plays if I am put on the offensive line. I know I’m not fast enough to play on the edge, but I think I could thrive plugging up gaps at nose or grinding out run block reps at guard, but I really want to play tackle so I can use my quickness and mobility to my advantage, as well as because the best player in Atlantic Canada (where I’m from) plays edge and I want a chance to match him. Do you think I’d fit best at guard, tackle or nose?

Help w/ x men

Hey all. I’m a first time x men reader, and brand new to comics as a medium (my first comic was the first invincible compendium which I bought a week ago). I know very little about the x men outside of what ‘97 has to offer. I was just at one of my local shops that I had never been to before and asked the only worker in store for a first time recommendation for someone just getting into comics, to which he showed me x men legends. I bought the first two volumes believing it was a good jumping on point, but after some research, I’ve come to find out that it is one of the most convoluted storylines, and requires a lot of prior reading to fully understand. Can anyone give me a breakdown of what I should know before getting into the run, or if it’s even worth reading before getting more experienced with the team.
