what football position should I play?

Question

im 14, 130 lbs, around 5'7"
pretty good hands, not well at tackling, ok at carrying, my arm is decent ok, but i doubt i can be a quarterback, Im ok at coverage ok, but not really fast.

I think I should be a TE or a FB on O
Maybe a LB or FS on D

what do you think i should play?

Answer 1

you said it right FB

you might need to be taller to be a TE

i'm thinking of the same thing

Answer 2

Hey, try for anything, best bet though is LB, work on tackling. As a FB and TE 75% of the time you are blocking guys more than twice your size. LB would probably be best because you dont have to be so fast but either way you need to work on blocking and tackling.

Answer 3

If your only 14 you play wherever you want. You're still growing and learning the game. Ok you won't be playing on the line (which probably eliminates TE too - since you'll have to be blocking a lot with high school teams typically running it a vast majority of the time). Personally I always liked to hit rather than get hit. So find out what you like. Lift weights. And you'll find a place that suits you.

Answer 4

Dont play defense first off, because if youre that short and that light there is no chance you can block any throws, but on offense I'd suggest you dont try for TE because if youre that short it might be a little bit hard to catch over the guy in front of you. If anything go with any running position, you seem small enough to slip through.

Answer 5

Tight End- that's what I'm planning on playing. I'm 5' 8 and 1/2", about 140, and 13. I played tight end in a 160- pound league weighing 130 at the time. If you can catch, have decent speed, and aren't afraid to block people bigger than you, then you would make a good tight end.

Answer 6

well ur way to small to play lb. to slow to play safety bt te mayb.noy a fullbak cuz u have to keep up wit ur fastest runners.and u need to be the best carrier on the team for those 5 yard gains in the red zone.realy tho.........dnt play football any if ur 14 and only 5'7 130lbs. wrk out and go 4 it nxt year.im 15 and 6'3 170 lbs. and i play full back and safety and olb.

Answer 7

i dont think your big enough to play FB and i think youll be better at WR then TE due to your size for D if your not well at tackling not a linebacker nor safety but maybe a corner

Answer 8

I'd say FS but I'm sorry, i always think of Brian Dawkins when i think of FS. And he's good at just about everything you talked about. I'd say LB.

Answer 9

for your age you are a good size for a tight end because my friend is a fullback you need to be strong with the arm to run over people and you are tall so that good

Answer 10

probably FS depending on what you can run in the 40 yard dash.
