Answer 1

Improve your 40 time and youll be good. 4.5 to 4.6 range

Answer 2

You are a bit on the light side, but should be able to get a spot on a college team.  You might consider switching positions maybe to safety, corner, or linebacker.  We had a short guy that no one wanted at my college.  He was Oklahoma player of the year for his division but every college thought he was too small.  We had a scholarship open up at the last minute and gave it to him.  Best player the school has ever had.  He was in my accounting class and would shy away from all of the attention.  He was All Big 12 and no one wanted him in the NFL, but he never gave up and finally landed a return spot with the Dolphins after being cut by the Chargers.  Have you guessed the player?  It's Wes Welker on the New England Patriots.

Answer 3

Yes, this is very good for a running back. Although, your 40 time means nothing if you cant do it wiht pads on. Improve your speed and agility with at very least shoulder pads on. You are very small and light which makes perfect running back material. I would say that yes, you have the potential to be a great running back!

Answer 4

improve on youre time
