What position should i play?

Question

I'm asking this question again because i leftsome info out. Most is copy and pasted. I am about 5'5 and weight 155lbs. Im 13 and normally play center because i have the fastest reflexes on the team. Im also the second best blocker on the team. (The best will go pro, easy.) I was wanting to go out for running back and be a power back like J-train outta Texas A&M or like Bettis since im the fastest big dude on the team. I run between a 5.5 and a 5.6 40 yd dash. I have also thought about DT and TE. DT is pretty explanatory, but people are always telling me that i should be a TE because i have "great" hands. I'm not sure if i wanna play fullback because our play book doesn't have hardly any fullback oriented plays. I'm not a ballhog or anything, but i do wanna get the ball a few times.

We have a mostly Running offense

Answer 1

u would make a great linebacker. you're not real fast but fast enough. Youre size will also help you. hit them hard and u will get the ball. Then run!

Answer 2

Fullback and tight end are your main options. If you're good enough at fullback, they'll probly make some plays just for you. Tight end will probly get you the ball more if you have some passing in your playbook. Great hands and good blocking are very typical for these two positions. Another offensive position would be wide receiver if you get your speed up cause every one wants a good blocking WR for sweeps.

If you want to play defense, I'd go with DE because i don't think your big enough for DT. Besides, i think DE is a lot funner anyways.

Answer 3

Sounds like Fullback is your best option, even though you don't like it. Fullbacks are very important to every team, and no playbook is directly designed to the FB, yet you can become the most important part of the offense. You WILL get the ball in short yardage situations and probably score a good bit of touchdowns in the goalline formation, which WILL be used. And if you don't get the ball you are the best friend of the RB, and block for him.
You will probably be a little to slow for TE. Also with you "great" hands, you will become a great option as a pass catching FB.

Answer 4

Id say you sound more like a tight end. Tight ends are big strong recievers with out the pretty boy mentality. Tight ends are not afraid to run the routes in the middle of the field were they can get a big hit on them.

I think a tight end will be able to showcase all your talents. A tight end must have great hands, runs routes good, be able to block very well, and run a moderatley fast speed. Sounds like you have these areas covered, you just have to put on some muscle.

Answer 5

First, let me correct you on something. No one makes the pro's easy. Less than 1% of athletes make it to the pro level. That said, you said you have fast reflexes. Have you thought about linebacker? Preferably OLB. If you're looking offense, if you want to be a FB or TE, you must get your 40 time down. In high school I was 5'7" 150lbs but did the 40 in 4.8 but I prefered to be an offensive guard but I played the most on kick-offs and punts because of my speed and I absolutely loved it.

Answer 6

Well u jsut have to trust ur coach btu if u want to play a certain position ask him it sounds like ur a big kid i'm 5'5'' and weigh 120 and i'm 12 so just go for wut u want but trust ur coach but it sounds liek u wood be a good offense or defensive linemen

Answer 7

BE A RB! just switch with the faster, smaller running back everynow and then, cause you could defidently be a bettis type player.

Answer 8

fullback is the one for u :)
