Do you think i could be an inside linebacker? I am 14 playing in high school. I am 6 ft 190 lbs fairly muscular and ran my 40 in 5.6 (pretty slow). Do i have a chance?

You will probably grow taller still. It sounds like you'd make a great tight end. If you can catch you can count the NFL money.

If you are 14 and are already 6 ft tall there is a good chance that you are going to get taller. You first of all need to improve you speed by doing a lot of running drills and weightlifting that focus on your legs. There should be no reason that you could not be a inside linebacker. The position is about agility and great field vision. If you have those not only will you be an inside linebacker but a great one at that

nah, they will definetly put u on the line somewhere unless u stop growing at that rate, but if u get faster u may be able to be a defensive end because linebackers sometime have to drop back in coverage alot and u can drop back in coverage running a 5.6 the way these freak tightends are now a day

I'm 5'5 and 150lbs and use to play for a city college for about a year. I think that if you practice hard you will likely to get that position. Just never give up and play like it's your last game. Good luck~!

Sure, for the Freshman or JV team for sure. and for the Varsity put on about 25 more pounds and you can manage.

You are big enough and strong. Just pratice daily on your run. You will get faster and when you are ready go for it.
