Im 5'9 you weigh 210 pounds and you have great hands and an eye for the ball you can also hit big and can cover receivers on certain plays. what football position should i go for?

Answer 1

If your 40 yd time is 4.8 or better, on defense outside LB or Strong safety. On offense tight end.

If this is a high school player who wants to go to the next level: strong safety is your best bet. Forget LB you are unlikely to get taller. But the 4.8 40 (or better) is a must. If you can make 225 without a loss in speed or mobility, that would be your best plan. Don't limit yourself to defense. If what you say is accurate and you like to hit, think how many Division I coaches would like a 5'9" 230 lbs fullback that likes contact. At fullback 5'9" works better and 4.8 is fine. All the guys who tell you that they run a 4.3 electronic timed, on grass in cleats, 40; are lying. That is Deion Sanders speed and there ain't many of those around.
