football positions for short big guys?

Question

im 5'8 or 5'9 i weight 175lbs i bench 190 lbs i can do like 50 push ups non stop, and also do push ups with some on on my back..
my 40 time is bad like 5.3( i m working on it)
i can block really good, i can take hits,..
I dont think i can be a widereceiver cause icant run that fast. i can catch tho
im only 15 and i will be a junior next year.. i skipped a grade and everyone already had their growth spurts so everyones like 6ft the shorterst player is a corner back at 5'5 but hes really good.. is 5'8 to short ? 15 yrs old?

i think its really hard to get in the team cause my school is #1 on the state.. too much competition, most players are over 6 ft tall and theres only a few b/w 5'5-5'9

i want to play center but the guys are too big..6'4 n aroudn there

my friend plays JV and hes the wide receiver at 5'8 140 lbs.. hes good though and so fast

Answer 1

Or you could be one of the most appreciated position on a team in the clutch...field goal kicker and punter

I have turned my athletic ability and prior experience in soccer into playing a rare position at the high school level. Kickers and punters need to be flexible, mentally tough and athletic. I am a freshmen and was the only true kicker out of all our 10 opponents. You might not be able to "truck stick" someone or "hit stick" someone, but your going to get the proper recognition for your skills. If you become the teams special teams man, then your still on the team practicing with them and can still try out for other positions. Patience ...Maybe it will even get you a scholarship

Answer 2

well it sounds like u could be a fullback if u could block and if ur team use an i formation or wishbone. if not the speed is ok but put on some weight and try dt. for either of these positions work on quickness more than speed. because in these positions u only have to be fast for about 10-15 yards. then hit the weights like its nobodies business and make ur toughness and brute strength do the talking for ur speed

READ SOLUTION
If you want to be a football payer with only being that tall then you should be a free saftey because you dont have to be really fast because you are really already out there and you can come closer if you want to sack. My last pointer is you could do whatever you want, basically while being free saftey. When the people are that small like wide recievers you can use your strength to bash them around really hard. And dont think i dont know where you are coming from because i play middle line backer

Answer 4

Have vyou ever considered playing defense. You could probably be a pretty decent safety. Dont worry too much about your 40 though. 5.3 is actually pretty good. Calvin Johnson ran a 4.3 at the combine, so you are just a second behind the best receiver in the NFL draft this year.

Answer 5

Well your 40 is really sorry for your size. But if you grow enough you could get on the O-line. Not that many other choices because of your size and speed especially if your team is as good as you say. I guess you could be kicker or punter. At least you would be on the team.

Answer 6

Sounds like you might be a good lead blocker - or fullback if you will. Maybe a tight end might be a good idea for you. If you're looking for a defensive position - maybe Defensive End but you need to get faster.

Answer 7

I played safety and I was 5'9" 225 and my fastest 40 time was 4.8 and i made all-state. So any position will work as long as you work hard.

Answer 8

At only 15, you've got a lot of growing left, so you really could play any position.

Answer 9

You might be a fullback...technically a RB that mostly blocks...You could also be a defensive back, to defend WRs, but you would have to keep up with them...

Answer 10

running-back, or fullback. Supposedly a low center of gravity is an advantage for a running-back.
