Answer 1

Well, you have good size for a corner or a safety but without speed there is no way you could hang with the wideouts. Have you tried working out to gain weight? If you could get to 190 or 200 you could play linebacker but that takes an attitude and you cant be afraid to hit. I would recommend that you workout with weights and get on a speed program (which can be found all over the internet, a cheap one is at airalert.com). Being only 16 you have plenty of time to grow but I would recommend linebacker. Just make sure you go to some football camps or buy dvd's to learn technique.

good luck buddy, hope this helps.

Answer 2

Since you already know that position you should stay with it.  You may not start in varsity but you'll be able to fill in in the starters absence and be a starter your senior year.

Answer 3

safety on defense, or maybe a linebacker. then on offense probably quarterback
