I'm a little guy for my age, 15. I'm 110lbs and 5'6. But I've always loved football, anytime we play football just a pickup game at our city park or at school I'm hyped up ALWAYS. Love tackling.. I'm fast too.. I run 60 meters in A little less than 8 seconds.. One of the fastest on baseball team (as a freshman).. Our school unfortuantely doesn't have football but was thinking about American Youth Football or Pop Warner. I can jump high.. Touch middle of the net on basketball goal (9') So possibly CB?

I'm no Randy Moss lol but I can catch a ball, great reactions... Reflexes, my timing is key on everything sport related. I show alot of heart in any sport, whether I like the sport or not. I'm just worried I'm going to get badly hurt and not be able to play baseball anymore.

Heart counts for alot. Try out for the team. But at 110lbs, just be prepared to take some really hard hits.

Go for WR or DB. You will have people telling you that you ar too small, but who cares. A lot of people think size is everything, but it's not. If you don't have the football smarts, you won't be good. No matter how small you are at DB, if you can read the play better than anyone and make the tackle...you are in. At WR, if you are small, you have speed. I always looked at it as, when you are on offense, you know where you are going. There have been a lot of running backs who were short and were very successful Example, barry sanders, stood at 5'7" or 5'8". He started behind five guys that were over 6'2" so the defense had to find him first, and then by then we was in open field lol. If you have the football smarts, you can be unstopable. Jerry Rice wasn't the fastest and he certainly wasn't the biggest, but he is considered the best ;-) The smallest guy to play in the NFL was in the 1960's I believe, I forget his name, but he is in the NFL's 100's toughest players film. He was 5'9" 165lbs. Good Luck to you.

OF course you can, some great players are short in the NFL but there is a great CB that's Asante Samuel, and he does great in the league. Wes Welker is a WR that is about 5 9, and by the time you grow, you might be taller and even better then them. By loving the sport so much like you do, you get huge adrenaline rushes that helps you out greatly too. GOOD LUCK!

I don't see any reason why not. You should probably work out in the weight room a lot and get a little bigger, so that you're durable and less likely to get injured. But yeah, it sounds like you have the speed and maybe the ability to play some CB, maybe WR.

Safety and CB are going to probably be the best positions, the only problem with being a safety at your size is that the position often demands that you move up and help with the run stop, but at your age, the RBs should be THAT much bigger.

AT my high school last year we went undefeated 15-0 and won the state title, we had an amazing tandom of running backs.....two of them were less than 5'6'' tall. Cory Jackson was 5'2'' and could run a 3'9'' he ran for over 4900 yards and Brandon Ford who was 5'6'' had 4700 yards, but the two bigger backs, one Donald "Sunshine" Walker and Nathan Griffeth had only around 1000 yards so you tell me what do you think??

of course you can. You haven't stopped growing yet and won't for another 4 years. Play to get the experience while your body is still developing. Lift wieghts, work out and put your heart into it. If not try ping pong.

It's certainly very possible, although you may want to hit the weight room and get yourself bulked up just a bit. But if you're willing to put forth the effort it takes, there's no reason why you can't play and play well.
Good Luck!!!!!!! :-)

It looks like you have the speed. its always good to have speed and strength ( because nobody can actually teach that ) work on your speed (sprints, agilities) and your strength (bench press, squats, dead lifts, clean and jerks, etc.) and your probably goin to get bigger as you get older, but for your size now and age, WR or CB

yes you can play you would probably be best as a running back or something like that until you gain a little weight
