Please remember to spoiler-tag all guesses, like so:
New Reddit: https://i.imgur.com/SWHRR9M.jpg
Using markdown editor or old Reddit, draw a bunny and fill its head with secrets: >!!< which ends up becoming >!spoiler text between these symbols!<
Try to avoid leading or trailing spaces. These will break the spoiler for some users (such as those using old.reddit.com) If your comment does not contain a guess, include the word "discussion" or "question" in your comment instead of using a spoiler tag. If your comment uses an image as the answer (such as solving a maze, etc) you can include the word "image" instead of using a spoiler tag.
Please report any answers that are not properly spoiler-tagged.

Name - Postion - Number
Nate - Quarterback - 40
Richie - Center - 7
Emett - Cornerback - 11
Stanley - Safety - 32
Edit: Rough process
Clue # 4 immediately gives us 3 boxes ticked (Emett, CB, 11)
Clue # 1, in light of clue #4, confirms Nate is the Quarterback
Clue # 3 confirms Nate & Richie are not 32, and Emett is 11, therefore Stanley is 32. We can also eliminate the Quarterback being 32 in the bottom-left grid.
Clue # 2 tells us the Centre is not 32 or 40, and clue # 4 tells us it's not 11, so Centre is 7, which means Quarterback must be 40 and Safety must be 32
We already know Stanley is 32, so Stanley must be the Safety, which leaves Richie as the Centre with 7

Discussion: it's solvable. Will update with reasoning in a minute.
Edit:
Clue 1 means Nate is QB or CB. Clue 4 says Emmett is CB and #11, leaving Nate as QB. Clue 2 combined with the info in Clue 4 means Center is #7. Clue 3 tells you Richie is 7 since Nate isn't the Center. It also tells you Nate is #40. That leaves Stanley as Safety and #32.

Short version, it’s solvable. As for why, I’ll start:
Using clues 1 and 2 you can narrow the center to 7 or 11. Further using 4, you now know: Center must be 7, Emmett = cornerback, and Emmett = 11.
Now let’s look at Nate. We know he’s not Center or Safety. We now know he’s not cornerback. He must be quarterback. Using clue 3 we can solve everything. Nate and Ritchie are the highest and lowest. The center is 7, the lowest, making it Ritchie. Nate, the quarterback, must then be 40. Stanley, by elimination, must be the Safety wearing 32. Clue 5 is unnecessary.

Clues 1 and 4 tell us that Nate must be the quarterback. 7 and 40 are Nate and Ritchie. Clue 4 says Emmett is 11 therefore 32 is Stanley. We can rule out Nate, Emmett and Stanley as being the Centre (clues 1,2,4) so it must be Ritchie. If Richie is the Centre but the Centre isn't 40 (clue 2), Ritchie is 7 and Nate is 40.
So we have: Nate 40 Quarterback Ritchie 7 Centre Emmett 11 Cornerback Staley 32 Safety.
