what is the ideal size of a linebacker?

The answer depends if you are talking about an inside linebacker, or an outside linebacker.  Inside linebackers don't have to be quite as tall an quick because their primary responsibility is to stop the run between the tackles and drop into the passing lanes.  This means if you are 6'0 its ok, but the NFL likes size.  If you are an outide linebacker you are expected to rush the quarterback and you are taking on larger lineman and tight ends.  Therefore being taller is at a premium because if you don't get to the quarterback you can get those hands up and deflect a pass.  An outside linebacker also has outside containment on sweep plays unless the type of defense dictates otherwise.  So about 6'2 and 250lbs on average with about a 4.5 second 40 time is about ideal.  Obviously the faster the and bigger the better.  But these are the benchmarks for the majority of NFL scouts, hope this helps.

I would say around 152 - 155 and a width of 252 mm.

i'm guessing anywhere from 110-140lbs???  This is a hard question because ideal weight is dependent on factors like bone structure, lean muscle mass, etc.

Outside Linebackers.  Because the middle linebacker plays the running back or short pass option.

Believe it or not (I work in a baseball pro shop), a glove that you are most comfortable with. Outfielder's usually have longer gloves than infielders do. A good outfield glove for someone your size should be around 12 to 13 inches.

You could suggest to your coach that you would like to play linebacker, but in all honesty your coach knows best.  He is probably using you at def. end because that best suits the team.  I would ask the coach to see what he thinks.

if you wrote this question, your offensive line must be garbage or you have no faith in them. you shouldn't  focus on getting bigger, get quicker. ask your coach to do running back drills and defensive back drills. you should also gameplan and study film to read blitz packages. you dont want to change your teams gameplan, but work on play- action plays and gadget plays. work on getting the ball out of your hand quicker and avoiding the late hits if possible(you dont want to focus on the defensive lineman and throw and interception)encourage your offensive lineman and tell them to step their game up.

Polamalu since has to be accounted for on every play.  How many DB's could line up in a dline position and still be effective?  Polmalu hits like a train and has a nose for the ball.  He is as complete a DB as a team would want.

62 is too big for anybody!! I'm 6'2" and I usually go for a 54 and I like baggy clothes. I'd say you get your friend a 52 or 54. If you want more info here's a sizing chart from Dick's Sporting Goods.\n\nhttp://www.dickssportinggoods.com/sm-football-jersey-sizing--bg-1381340.html

Any weight that is in proportion with the body height.  A few extra pounds doesn't matter either.

im not sure what you need but im guessing that you need to be fast, tell (over 6') and probably be able to catch 9 of 10 balls thrown to you..it all depends on your football team though.  If they are good then their standards would be a little higher.

You want a large DT (nose Tackle) to clog the middle.  Larger DE's (more like hybrid DT's) and at least one pass rushing OLB (ie. Shawn Merriman or Lawerance Taylor).  One of the major differences in the 3/4 is that you need larger bodies up front but you have a lot more flexability with how your LB's line up and play.
