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.

Running back. Then you can score more.

That's a very decent 40 speed, I'd suggest Running Back if you're looking to play offense.\nYou're going to be one of the smaller young men on the field, but that can work in your advantage, too.  Tuck in behind a lead blocker to get through the line then turn on the jets and you're making yards.\nBut if you're like me and favor defense, your size and speed are aligned with Corner or Safety.  While the linebackers go in on blitz, having someone quick to cover a quick pass is a huge benefit.\nGood luck with your game, Friday nights are a blast!

Based  on your size and speed I would suggest Offensive Tackle and Defensive End.  I am 5'8" 165 and run a 5.1.  I'm a frosh and play D tackle and guard.

If you have the strength, skill, and ability to play, go for it! If you have played HS football, this is a good idea. Some level of experience is required. If you can stand the test of time over the entire season, and have enough skill to do it, sounds good. One recommendation: it is easier to play a position like Safety or Cornerback if you have speed than it is to play any other one

I played D-Line in College.  The most important thing is to stay low and get your hands inside the numbers of the O-lineman.  This will create leverage.  You can then discard the lineman and purse the play.  ALWAYS pursue the play and take a good angle.  You might not make the tackle but the extra effort could result in a fumble recovery.

You are big enough to play on even a not crappy HS football team. \n\nIf you are athletic, fast, and strong there is no reason why you could not play WR, CB or Safety. It all really depends on your skill level and work ethic.\n\nI would suggest working out like a madman, joining the teams off-season workout program if at all possible, and even attending a football summer camp if you could. \n\nGood luck!!!\n\nEdited to add that Barry Sanders was 5'8" and Walter Payton was 5'10"\n\nhttp://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/PaytWa00.htm\nhttp://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/SandBa00.htm

At your age I guess you want to play for fun, as a hobby, not professional. Because you are a little old to start now a football career. I'm not saying it's impossible, but you must play really really good, nice is not enough.

Obviously you've got to work out hard and make sure youre in shape for the start of the season. Strength and conditioning are essential for the O line. I'm assuming you already know that however. What I would suggest focusing on is working on your first step or your ability to get off the ball. If you can explode off the ball and get into the d-lineman before he gets to you, you'll dominate consistently. Strength is important as a lineman, but quickness and leverage are more important. In addition to your regular running and work-outs, I would suggest jump roping and jumping squat thrusts (they're like regular squat thrusts only you jump when you come up instead of just standing.) Id also suggest trying this; Find a brick or cement/concrete wall. Take some sidewalk chalk (or anything you can wash off) and draw a line to represent the abdomen/chest area of a d-lineman. Get down in your stance and work on firing off the ball and staying low, shooting up hands first into the wall. Do this over and over to increase your speed and to get used to staying low. OH, be careful not to hurt your wrists when you go into the wall. The last thing you want to do is break your wrist a month before training starts  lol. You may want to also consider wearing what boxers call "bag gloves." They're gloves that cover the back of your hand and your back knuckles so you don't rip your hands up on a heavy bag, or in this case, the wall. Other than that, just give it all you've got. If you go 100% and don't dog it during practice, the coaches will notice, and it will impress them. Hope it helps, and good luck bro.

Start the right QB every week?  Buy Statracker?  Throw for more TD's and yardage?\n\nHonestly...I have no idea what you are asking here.

Zone blitz. Have one of your DEs back into coverage and blitz two of your LBs. Very confusing to the opposing QB.

I love playing football but i would say it depends what position you play. i played RB hated it now FS and love it

5'11" at 14 is fairly tall.  At 148, you're not really bulky enough to play an inside position, so CB or WR would be the best position.  Key element here would be speed.

Your still growing..  DE a good position, but here is more to being a good footbal player that size and muscle.. Speed, quickness, football smarts and being aggressive have to be there too..  \n\nwithout the desire, dedication and discipline you will never be a great DE..

What is necessary to be a good DT is penetration through the gap.  I would try squatting as it works on your burst which is beneficial for a DT to succeed.  You are young so I don't expect much but start doing that and you'll see a difference.  \n\nAlso, polymetrics is the place to go no matter what.  Go and google or wikipedia it and you'll find all you need to know.  It is key in burst, acceleration and explosiveness.  It will hurt a lot at first but it works so well!\n\nAnother underrated thing to do is go out and jog maybe a mile or two per day.  It increases your stamina which is one of the most underrated things in football.  It'll help you have a good motor all game.  \n\nDo not forgot to work out your arms of course but legs come first.

go with matt, he has great WR and he has shaune alxander back...shaune will keep the defance form stacking up on the WR so look for matt to have a good game passing the ball
