National football league combine, tryouts
203796
The NFL combine has already taken place.  The only thing left is individual "pro day" workouts being held by prospective draft picks.  I think virtually all of those have also already been held at various University sites around the country.  The only thing left is the April NFL Draft.  In the future, the NFL combine tryouts are by invitation only.  You must get the approval of an NFL Scout, front office/league/committee member, or petition the league office with a tape of your on field highlights and you will recieve a letter.  Or you can go to open team tryouts which some teams will have.  I know the Dallas Cowboys have held an open tryout before in the past where a lot of Arena League, Canadian League, and semi-pro players have went through a two week tryout just to get into training camp and get a look.  Also there are anywhere from 4-8 teams that will conduct a kickers tryout camp.  It seems that its virtually a revolving door when it comes to rookie kickers in this league.  Well, thats about it.

well maybe your a little light but your young and you can always hit the gym....and 100 yard in 11 seconds is damn good man........thats like 12 or 13 seconds in 100m....the world record is like 9.87 or something.....now either way my friend if you play football your gonna need that ability to take a hit because your definetly gonna get hurt.....its the name of the game\n\nbut to figure out what you wanna do then you have to ask yourself what you wanna really do.......do you wanna tackle ppl and make interceptions or do you wanna score and have glory\n\nnow the higher level of competition you get the more the coaches dont try you out in different positions and you have to pick yourself....i had to do that and didnt like it becasue i got cut lol....i probably had more talent at running back but i tried out for defensive back and wide receiver.....learn from my mistake.....dont worry about getting cut or force yourself to do a position you dont truly love.....do the position that you feel most comfotably in unless the coach says otherwise\n\nnow the different positons are:\n\nquarterback: throws the ball and manages the offense....usually the team leader\n\nrunning back is divided in two....fullback and half back...fullback usually really big and is the lead blocker for the half back who is usually the main runner of the team...the running game and also both running backs catch short passes\n\nthe receivers are the usually the fastest players who run routs and catch all sorts or passes\n\nthe tight end is usually a big guy who is half wide receiver half offensive lineman.....they sometimes help out and block but most of the time they catch intermediate distance passes in the middle of the field\n\nnow the offensive lineman and the defensive lineman are the biggest on the field.....offensive blocks the defensive lineman when their trying to rush the quarterback\n\nthe linebackers are in the middle of the defense and usually stop the run or cover receiver in short yard situations \n\nand the defensive backs are divided in two....safeties are the last line of defense and stay back in coverage....the free safety covers the deep passes and the wide receivers and the strong safety stay closer to the linebackers for run support or cover the tight ends........of course there are exceptions and its not always like this..........and finally the cornerbacks cover the receiver directly and usually follow them everywhere on the field\n\ni would suggest with your size and speed and you say your small that you play corner but i never liked it because you have to backpedal a lot and you have to be quick to react and not just fast because you dont know where the receivers going\n\nsafety might be too hard for you the first year because you have to know all the receivers routes and stuff more and know the passing tree\n\nand if you wanna be on offense then you might wanna be a half back because you run and if your quick then you could be like the next barry sanders or you could shake the defenders easily\n\nor you could be wide receiver because most of them are really tall but there are shorter receivers that are quick as hell but make it.....like joey galloway or steve smith.....but you have to be able to catch and run precise routes\n\nfinal thouht get buff work out at the gym and find out what you love and what positon you would like but when working out at the gym dont lose any speed because speed is very useful and speed kills\n\ngood luck

I have to agree with the other 2 answers a little bit. However benching twice your own weight is pretty rare.\nIf you are a RB, WR, or DB you should try to get you bench press to at least\n200. Again 250 would be better. Squatting 350 to 400 lbs would be great in helping to break takles and with your explosiveness.\nAs a lineman you would want to be much stonger although not in a strength to weight ratio.\nLine backers are typically the strongest (by weight ratio) players on a team. You have to be able to ward off blocks from O - linemen and be able to run with RBs and WRs in space.\nGet in touch with a strength coach and find a good weight training program and stick to it. It will be a lot of work but will be well worth it.\nGood luck.

He was undrafted, but signed with the Dallas Cowboys as a free agent. Cool that you're interviewing him.

Besides MLS, I have not heard of any others.  The MLS does, I wouldn't be surprised if the MISL or the A-League did too.  But dude, I would not even try out if you aren't one of the best players in your area...even then, maybe not.  You have to be an extremely talented player to make it to the MLS, let alone get noticed in an MLS tryout

He has to report eligible if he is wearing an ineligible number, he also has to be on the end of the line. If you have anyone split wide on the same side they have to be off the line for the lineman to be eligible.

wow your friend sounds like a natural athlete. the position he plays depnds on whos in his team and their ablilities. if he's good at everything than he can pretty much fill anyones shoes. he needs to look at where the team needs the most help. if it needs someone who can throw then he should be a quarter back. if it needs someone who catch then a reciever. if it needs someone who has great agility then he should be a runningback.

He definitely has the credentials to go pro with all the records and stats he set in college. He should definitely check out NFL minicamps and try out for some teams. He wouldnt make the Draft because he came from a smaller school, but he definitely seems to be athletic enough to give it a shot at the camps.

I think there are some "walk on" tryouts during spring training.  I am going to be practicing my knuckle ball all winter and show up and sign a 10 million dollar a year contract with some very lucky team.

You should be able to get his NFL jersey soon. He was drafted 1st round pick today.

You should practice both positions and see where you are most comfortable, then tryout for that position. Bottom line is the coach will probable make the decision for you.

Play everything, because high school and Jr. High are fun like that.  I ended up playing running back and free saftey but on JV and C team I played D-line, tightend, reciever, QB get a feel for it all that way if you want/have to play a different position at the college level it's not that brand new to you. I was a lil guy in Jr high and high school 5'7 155 after I got to college I grew but do it all man. Don't limit yourself to just one sport do swimming, tennis, hoops all that skill pays off in the long run, And youre 12 what else do you have to do.

check the mlb website.  i know for a fact that every year open tryouts are held throughout the country.  almost every team attends these, you just have to find out when and where.  i believe that announce the schedule in january or february\n\nI was on the mlb website and saw the answer to your question.  if you  go to the homepage and scroll down until you see the "official rules" link under "official info".  click on official rules then you'll see a link on the left hand side of the page that says "tryout camps".  this will give you all the info. you need.  right the dates are from last year but i'm sure they'll update it after the new year.  good luck
