Answer 1

Sure, you can play.  You may not be a superstar but you never know until you try.  Just have fun.

Answer 2

yeah but try gaining weight

Answer 3

Depends on your skills. If you can run that might be an advantage for you. However, a lot of teams already know who they're going to pick. If you make the team which can be a big if, you will probably sit a lot unless you have connections to the coach or other players on the team.  Coaches like to see the effort and hustle. If you have a fair coach and you like and are good at football you definetley have a shot no matter what your size is.

Answer 4

If you're willing to give it a real shot, you have as much chance as most. Be enthusiastic, do what you're told and enjoy playing!

Best of luck!

Answer 5

Answer 6

you dont have to be huge, you have to want to play, and have the desire to win, size matters but only to a certain level, if your fast play reciever or defensive back, or running back, if you have good leadership, can throw a football, and have good form, play quarterback, just hit the weight room eat right and stay in shape, for example some small nfl players, barry sanders 5-8,one of the best tailbacks to ever play, cory ross a running back for the ravens 5'6,you dont need size

Answer 7

Sure you can.  Don't expect any college scholarships though.
