Could i be a successful High School RB?

Question

Im 5'9 and 185 pounds...Im not the fastest Runner, i'd say slightly above average (if that makes sense) but i have a decent juke and a very very good stiff arm plus im strong enough to just plow through ppl, i played for fun with some of the varsity players and they had alot of trouble taking me down... i used to play tight end but am becoming bored of it

Answer 1

Instead of asking a bunch of people on Y! Answers who have never seen you play...

talk to your coach, let him know you are interested and let him decide where to put you - they will usually put you where they need your talent the most.  

Answer 2

Well, speed is a factor but on top of that you need agility.

Answer 3

Make sure you work on your speed, its hugely important to have breakaway speed and also be quick on your feet.

Also remember that its a lot easier to tackle when you have pads on, so you need to practice in pads and also work on driving your legs a lot.

Answer 4

i think you could be successful,, fullback sounds like a good fit for you

Answer 5

Whoa! calm down B-RAD. It's just a simple question.

Yes I think you can be a successful RB. Work on speed and agility a lot. And don't think that every other school is gonna be like your varsity players and wont be able to take you down. There are some pretty big kids out there in the world.

Just practice a lot at it and if you're good at it, keep practicing some more.
