I don't think much will change once. Like said before by someone back players will still be the ever important lineman like football, but they won't be pulling off any flashy moves. They just make sure things don't go bad.
You seem over worried about getting exposure which tells me you probably play with beginner tourney players or scrubs who think you need to always move up regardless of what you are doing.
If you want to get noticed play your position well and shine as a player. If you're playing back center/a corner and your front player dies, fill in without getting shot and finish up the work and get the kills your front player was expected to but didn't. People will notice.

I am a 6'8 baller. Not easy to play much else than back center/dorito or snake corner. But trust me...guys on my team have congratulated me and thanked me after we win a game for the *** saving aspect. We may not get the camera focus or the crowd cheers, but when it comes down to it, we are a big reason our guys stay alive. Look at Dave Banes at the HB event if you have access. They don't call him "The Beast" for nothing.

im 6'2 i play back mostly. the field layout also has alot to do with how key the corners and home are. just remember field position is key if you see a good move take it. watch ollie lang play back at nppl, dude never stops shooting, its awseome. half the time he ends up in the snake, a true back player doin work

back players are in my opinion the most important like i play snake with out my corner player i dont know where people are and not to mention i have to worry about more then just whats infront of me its not about "looking good" its more about being a team player and knowing that your the reason your front players are making it across the field and then some

Did it yesteray, My corners gun went down two games in a row while I was in the S2. Totally changed what I had to do. I had to keep looking to get bunkered instead of shoot people cross field. Back folks are more important then most realize or give credit for.
If you want to look more impressive, keep winning games, eventually you yourself will realize how much of an impact you have had winning those games.
Last note, At the end of a tough game, when it comes down to a 2-1, who are usually the guys left standing on the field? Back center/corner players!
