What position should I play in canadian football?

Question

I am 5'10" 170 lbs 14 years of age. I'm not all that fast but i can throw 35-40 meters but not acurate and also catch.

Answer 1

You should gain some more weight first. You could probably be a tight end, or a fullback if you can break tackles.

Answer 2

I would say you should be a a Tight End. Tight Ends are pretty big guys who can block and catch passes, but they don't have to be super fast.  This is a great position for you because you fit the spot almost perfectly.

Another good sport would be full back. You don't have to be that fast, but if you're big it's good. I'd still say you should be a Tight End though, but full back is a good second choice.

I wouldn't try to be a Quarter Back even though you can throw pretty far, you need to be accurate. Accuracy is the most important thing for a Quarter Back.

Since you are not that fast, a wide receiver wouldn't be a good choice even though you can catch. It's good since you're pretty tall, but if you can't out-run the defenders, it won't help. This is one for the same reasons I wouldn't recommend being a defensive back or safety either.

So the overall best choice for you is Tight End. It's the perfect spot for you. There may be some other positions you could do, like lineman, but this will be the best spot if you want to have an important role.

Answer 3

As long as you run the 40 yard dash in the 5.3-5.4 range (slow, but not terrible for a 14 year old), I think your best positions would be middle linebacker on defence or center on offense.
