  1. can you throw caz lf you can you should probaly become a quarter back but if you are bad under presure you shouldnt be a quarter back! i now i do better under presure. i hope this help you.<333


  2. Corner back

  3. You should try RB. When I was in 8th grade I played little league football (Offensive Tackle) I was 5'4 126 pounds. When I played JV in High School (10th grade) I was 5'7 155 lbs playing Fullback. My senior year I was a 5'10 205 pound fullback at the end of the season I bulked up for the recruiters (no Steroids and good diet ask your mom for help on that one :-) ) and weighed 235 pounds of muscle. Size will come. so Try to get experience in a position that you like. If it is RB play that position you can always change your mind in High school.      

  4. i would say corner back would be the best position for you. you dont have to be too fast too strong or have too good of hands to be really good you just have to be good at positioning  

  5. so your somewhat strong and fast, and can sometimes catch. you should try golf with those attributes

  6. CB

    ur to light for RB and not fast enough or strong enough bc somewhat doesnt cut it

    and if u can sometimes catch u wont be a good WR

  7. somewhat?

  8. At your age you should try to play more than one position to find the one you like the most and what best fit your skill set. WR and DB are good choices for your size.

    Unless you have a lot of growing left I think RB is out of the question.

  9. RB or corner, you need to be taller and have good hands for WR, try and gain a few pounds for RB though

  10. wide receiver

  11. You're young.  Which one do you like best?  That's probably where you should play.  The coach will decide where he wants you to play.  As the others have said, you have to do better than "catch the balls sometimes" to play WR or RB,  but you can work on that.  

  12. everyone thinks that they are better than they are...for example, i can run a 4.6 forty yard dash, but i dont play football...if u gain weight, then try half back, but if you get taller and leaner, go with corner cause you said you cant catch...but in middle and high school, corner is all about stopping the run, so make sure you can tackle

  13. definitely a corner back if you can break tackles then you can create tackles so go for it bro

  14. Nathan, I played QB and WR through Pop Warner, High School, and College.  If you can catch the football sometimes...forget WR.  As you progress, you will find a WR needs to have great hands and total concentration on the ball in traffic. Try both RB and CB,
