The positions in Canadian football are very similar to those in the NFL, except that there is one extra wide receiver or running back. The names will vary from play to play, but seven players must be on the line, the 5 offensive linemen, and two wide receivers. The rest of the players may go in motion at anytime, and may be in the form of a QB, and then a total of four more receivers and running-backs.
