So we are going to base this off of freshman & JV football player attributes. If you are not a freshman or JV player- you can use this almost as a projection. If you think you will be this big- this is generally where you’d want to play if you’re struggling with a position.

QB- Honestly I don’t really want to give an answer here. Just because it takes a lot more than height or weight to play the position. You need to be a pretty damn good QB. If you can throw, have arm strength, good accuracy, understand plays & can read defenses- I think QB is a good spot for you.

WR- 5’5-5’10 (on the lighter side of things- like 150lbs or less)

DB- Same attributes as WRs- but you don’t have the best hands

Safety- Same attributes as DBs- but heavier side of things like 155-170lbs- but more athletic than a LB

RB- 5’5-5’10 (heavier side of things like 165-185lbs but decently athletic)

LB- Same attributes as RBs but not as athletic.

TE- 5’9-6’0+ (heavier side of things like 170lbs+)

OL/DL- 5’10+ (200lbs or more)
