What position for football should I play?

Question

I'm 15 years old 6 foot tall 150 pounds with have great hands. I'm having trouble deciding between being a DB or WR. I am great at both positions but i'm not sure which position would be best for me.

I bench about 140-150. I'm not sure exactly what I squat anymore but it's probably some where near 200. I have average speed. I'm a hard hitter and i'm also hard to take down. If you got a hold on me i'll just keep running til I can't anymore.

btw in case ur wondering i haven't hit my growth spurt yet and my doctor says i should get as tall as 6'6".

Answer 1

If i were in your position i would defientely go for WR. 6'6 is too tall by far for a DB, and 6 foot flat is even considered too big by some. if you plan to play at the next level of football, the choice is simple, your build is WR, not DB, so focus mainly on that. but hey, playing both sides doesnt hurt at the HS level

Answer 2

THis isn't a question to be asking the yahoo server. YOu should be asking your couch. Do what is best for the team. A 6'6" DB though would be pretty nice and if you hit hard you might be good at a safty position. If you speed up after your growth spirt go for the WR position. You can always change your mind.

Answer 3

Neither. At 15 and 6' there is no telling how tall you will or wont get. You could get as tall as 6' 6 doesn't mean your going to. If you are as strong as you say you are and can catch the ball as well as you claim also then you should be playing linebacker. You need to put on some weight lifting weights and running but at 15 it'll come. I would go with the linebacker position and if you're really interested in playing offense then play TE.

Answer 4

You'd have to put on weight, but TE would be ideal. If you have aspirations to go pro someday, TE or WR would be better suited for your height than DB. The speed factor favors TE if you don't have great speed. Look how few great TE's are out there now. If you bulked up and your hands are as good as you say, that would be your best bet. As a TE, you use your size instead of speed to make plays.

Answer 5

I hate to tell you but most individuals have hit their growth spurt by the age of 15.
Anyway just pick the position you want to play the most and go for it. You're a tweener, a bit tall for DB, and a bit short for WR so just go with whatever you're comfortable with.
99% of ball players don't make it big time so don't worry about that, just pick what you want and go for it. Why not do double duty and play both?

Answer 6

Being 6 foot and the possibility of 6'6", I would say bulk up as much as you can and go for a linebacker spot, but being the cocky kind of kid you are, Free Safety may be a better choice. I think with average speed, being a corner may be a bad idea and wide receiver may be a bad choice as well.

Answer 7

Kid im gonna awnser your question easy if your supposed to be 6'6 and can hit like a power house make big plays go out for TIGHT END just add about 20-40 pds and you will have colleges all over you man. IF you can block and catch man you will be amazing trust me

Answer 8

tell you the truth, i think u should go with DB. seeing most ppl on here cant answer the question straight.

im almost opposite of you. im 16 years old 5' 4" and 135.

i know that i'd rather hit the **** outta someone then someone hit me.

a good thing for you as a DB would to do power cleans. they help you with your tackeling skills and how you bend your legs. trust me they help.

having good hands can also help you on defense.

so u got my answer

Answer 9

Since you have average speed and are a hard hitter, play safety. If you grow to 6'6", then think about receiver.

Answer 10

If you get past six foot four wide reciever shorter than that try defensive back for a while.
