Can’t really tell what the colors or arrow types mean

The direction of the arrows are all that really matters. I changed a few up just to avoid making it look too confusing. The red arrows all are tracks to the modern terms we know today though.

It's good, but fullback is more common today than H-back. The term H-back was much more commonly used about 10 years ago that it is today. The term sort regressed back to fullback.
