  1. im a fb im 134 im fast and im chubby so im a good blocker


  2. helmet, shoulder pads, football pants, thigh pads, girdle, hip pads, knee pads, cleets.

    however if this is through the school i think they provide some of that for you. make sure you work out and consume lots of protein.

  3. The school or team will usually supply you with all the equipment you need -- helmet, shoulder pads, girdle, etc.

    That being said, there are four pieces you need to buy for yourself:

    1) Get the best mouthguard you can.  ShockDoctor makes a good one, your dentist makes the best.  Seriously.  Too many concussions and suddenly you're not who you once were.

    2) Get a cup that you can run while wearing.  New ones have flexible sides and narrower construction.  Protect the twigs and berries.

    3) Get yer own girdle.  As a running back, you need pads that don't interfere with your stride.  What the team gives you may not be the best fit or best quality.

    4) Shoes.  The lighter the better.  Removable spikes.  We like Nike Super Speed D lows.
