Geometry project! 10 ways geometry is used in football????

[ginamv]

My geometry teacher has assigned a project where I have to design a poster showing 10 ways that geometry is used in football. The obvious to me is all the rectangles on the field marked every 10 yards.

Does anyone else have any suggestions on ways that football is used in geometry???

I am in 8th grade.

Thank you for any help!

Linebacker with his eye on a ball carrier. Does he have an "angle" or not?

QB throws a long forward pass: what sort of "path" does ball follow?
Shape of the ball?
