Answer 1

To begin with, just because your big, strong and fast doesn't mean you'll be a great athlete. It takes a certain something to play each sport.
I don't care what size you are, hitting a baseball is the toughest thing to do in any sport. You may be big but your bat speed may be slow, you may not be able to see the seams on the baseball and not be able to tell the difference between a curve ball, a slider, a fastball or a changeup. You also have to have base running instincts and know how to field your position in the field.

Hockey requires a ton of coordination and concentration. If you can't skate fast, control the puck, pass the puck or shoot accurately at the goal, you'll never be successful.

In basketball, at 6'3 you'd either be a point guard or a 2 guard. A point guard needs to be able to control the ball, the tempo of the game, and get all of his teammates involved. You'd need to be able to make accurate passes without turning the ball over. As a 2 guard you also need to have some ball handling skills and you definitely need to be able to shoot from long range with accuracy.

Football may be the best sport for you. At 6'3 235lbs you sound more like a linebacker or a defense end. In either case, you'll have to have incredible speed and instincts off the ball. As a linebacker, you'd need to be able to cover a running back or tight end in the flat as well as have stamina to run sideline to sideline to cut off outside runs and reverses. As a defensive lineman you may run into guys 6'6 260 who will dominate you physically. You'll have to learn a pass rushing technique that'll get you to the QB or RB.

So like I said, size and strength alone, will not make you a successful athlete. You'll need to constantly train and practice to be successful

Answer 2

I think you'd have to say yes, considering how much a QB can effect the outcome of the game. He touches the ball every play, he has to make the throws down field and he has to read defenses, feel for pressure and make game deciding decisions. Of course, a team is compiled of more than just one player and players at other positions can make mistakes or big plays that effect the game as well but the QB has that task every snap. While i believe that team play is essential in Football, hockey and basketball, the QB of a football team is the ultimate deciding factor on most teams. Yes there are many exceptions where teams with weak QBs have gone further and even won championships but we can take it back to Marino and even further back to Unitas or even today with Palmer, Brady and manning... All these guys are remembered for their valiant efforts and how much of a difference they make to their team... There's no doubt about it QBs will forever have the most impact in football and in my opinion, it's the most important in sports. A goalie can't score for the team(usually), basketball players can't score all the points or make all the passes but a QB throws all the passes, plays defense by being accurate and keeping the offense on the field, give the team advantages in field position and is the ultimate source of scoring, they can even help the run. QBs can help their team in all aspects of football, no other position in sports can do that.

Answer 3

Hockey forward. You could also play defense, but as a forward, you'd be a power forward type. As a power forward, you'd be in front of the net, to score the rebound goals. But if you have speed as well, you'd score the skill type goals as well. You'd be like Thomas Vanek of the Sabres.

Basketball, you'd be too big weightwise to be a guard. Football, You could be a linebacker, but as a former JC college player, football isn't worth it. Baseball isn't a great choice just because you'd be better off using your speed and size elsewhere.

Answer 4

Ok, definetly not hockey, or basketball. You could probably hit a baseball real hard, but you'll still have a lot of strenght and enrgy. So go for football. I would say middle linebacker or linebacker. Or whatever you want it's up to you.

Answer 5

Football: Tight End

Answer 6

You're a sophmore in High School I would say...play football.
Not Linebacker....not yet...you don't have enough experience. And you are still growing. However, you would make an excellent Defensive End and probably find colleges contacting you by your Senior year.

Answer 7

Why don't you try out for all three and see which one you are best at. However if you don't want to, try football. I can see that you bench press at a great number, you can build muscle and play defense.

Answer 8

^he clearly said college in the description

You could probably get away with TE (not too short, vernon davis is 6'3"...course he's 253 and runs a 4.38....) or LB or an undersized DE (not FB, too tall)

Answer 9

BOO hackey
try football if your fast be a RB or a punt returner
Or be a basketball player try forward

Answer 10

depends if you want to make a career out of it??? Do what you love, or what your good at. Chances are is that you will not go pro anyway, so you should enjoy yourself.

no, your too short for a tight end
