C-diddy asked:

I am a sophomore in high school and am thinking of joining the football team. I am 6′ 1″ and weigh about 190 lbs. I am not very fast but am pretty good at tackling (or so I think lol). I am probably the least likely person in our school to ever play football, but I like to surprise people. Please help, especially any high school football players!!
I think blocking would be best for me.

    It depends on how fat you are. ~Spurs and Cowboys~

    you sound like a linebacker to me.
    if you are good at tackling… they don’t have to be fast

    You like blocking? how bout TE, you can block for your RB… and if you are need you can go out for short passes.
    Also Defensive linemen is an option, if you have enough body fat. curtisedge11

    Well what do you like to do? Catch footballs, block, chase the QB, defend a player? You could be a linebacker. stylez4o1

    You sound like you would probably be a Linebacker and maybe..maybe a def. lineman. But if you 6′1″ and 190 ur not a very big guy. Get in the weight room and work you A55 off and you can be a great linebacker. allenh2_05_90

    6′ 1″ and 190 lbs sophomore? You should’ve played this year and last year. I could see the coach making you into a lineman on either side of the ball. How good are your feet? Good thing is you still have 2 years of high school left so work on your agility. Maybe with speed, I would say a defense end earthpigs1775

    I play football myself, i sound kinda like you, and i play DE (defensive end). I also play some offensive line, but im quick on the snap. You also might be able to play LB (line backer) that is if you can think and read the play quickly. GOOD LUCK! Bob S

    First you have to ask yourself, Do I want to hit somebody or get hit myself? Defense would be my first choice. I’d rather hit than get hit. With your size, what about linebacker or defensive end? If offense lights your fire, try tight end. MightyMoonpie
