what do you mean by "push"? squat, leg press, or is that the weight of a weighted tackling sled? plus what is your age? not trying to offend, but you may be either a little too short or a little too heavy (the 40 time kind of shows that) to be playing linebacker. email me and give me some insight with specifics. i can answer any question you may have from weight training speed training and a great deal about football. hope to hear from you soon.

well i dont know how old u are, but it looks like ur not big enough to be a linebacker, also u should take advantage of that, that ur legs are the strongest in ur body, i play as linebacker, im 21, 6´01 and 235, and im currently benching 4 reps by myself with 350, and i think when u look at a linebacker, upperstrnght is very important, because u cant always explect to outrun the linemen to make a tacke, so i say u can play, ur pretty fast, but why dont u try as strong safety if u really like the defense, offense sucks

Sounds like you have good strength in your legs but not much speed. If you don't shy away from contact maybe Full Back is a position you should try.

Too slow for a line backer, maybe a defensive end

Try offensive tackle or guard. With those legs, you could be blocking for a running back.

you are pretty slow so you could be a great defensive end with all the leg power

outside LB , you have ok speed and that would be a good spot to use it.
