The most useful power to have on both sides of the ball would be unlimited elasticity, like Mr. Fantastic. On the offensive side of the ball, it's an easy touchdown every drive: as a QB I could just take the snap and reach across the field for a touchdown, as a RB I could just walk over the defense, as a WR or TE just chuck the ball anywhere on the field - I got it. On defense, tackling is a cinch, just go for the total body constrictor. Opposing QB's won't dare pass the ball, since any time in the air is a chance for an interception, and to be honest there wouldn't even be a need to play defense in a traditional sense, just grow into a 50x50 yard wall that will absorb anything that crosses the line of scrimmage. And the best part? Unlimited elasticity absorbs all kinetic energy, so speedsters and strength-buffed players won't be able to brute force their way past.
