Football: what position would you play?

[CGI_Ram]

So, at your peak age/athleticism; what position would you play?

10yrs ago I was playing in an adult flag football league and was a CB. I was always among the fastest runners growing up and this was the position that seemed to fit me best.

Lets see, I'm under 6', slow and most importantly white. I'd be a "Wes Welker clone"

I played WR all throughout high school and college(for the one year I actually went). I play in a two hand touch league now. But yeah, reciever is my position. Always been one of the faster guys.

 

[Selassie I]

I played on both sides of the ball in HS.

I played on every other play on O... Me and the other RB would rotate in on every other play because we would bring in the call from coach on the sideline.

I played all downs on defense. Played mostly CB but sometimes switched to safety depending on the team we were playing.

Played on the coverage teams on special teams and I returned punts.


Please imagine me explaining this in my best Al Bundy voice.

I would rock this position! LOL

I played Center, 1 year in High school, I wasn't very good! But I'd be better today, with my 'New improved Football IQ!

Played safety for 4 years, and I'd play it again today (after I lost about 30 lbs).

I played TE and FB, mostly TE though.
Think of a Matthew Mulligan clone....only shorter....and smaller....and slower....

It still makes my head explode that this was flagged.

Today I would be the guy cooking Rob Ryan's halftime snack, but in my peak, I would most likely play safety. If I was 5 inches taller I would most likely have played QB. In my younger days I could throw a football 60+ yards with solid accuracy.

Is that you Rico?

 

[Ram Quixote]

No, no, no, no. I was a 140 lb bean pole as a senior in HS. I left football to the jocks.

Baseball was my sport.

 

[LACHAMP46]

Was 6'2, 160-190 and liked corner....

Now 6'3 255+ and think I coulda handled safety...

but probably woulda played LB, if I had some sense back then...

Did you never play football, even in the backyard?

Everyone has a position they played.

 

[Angry Ram]

I never got to play anything. But I always wanted to play linebacker.

Oh, I played. But that would be PE. I actually had some pass rushing skills, until one of the actual football jocks took me to school. I consider that high praise, btw.

 

[BonifayRam]

Interior OL & DL where you can hide the big ugly mean all team first players.

There you go. We got you down as a DE, then.

 

[iced]

High School? Would have played on the line.

Peak shape? Would have went receiver first, Safety or LB second. About 6'2, had some speed at my peak.

 

[Faceplant]

Played QB mostly on offense (played WR one year), safety on D. Man I miss those days.
