    Strong safety, made varsity freshman year and was a starter sophomore on. Wasn't big enough to play with the big boys in college though.

    Weird, I still have dreams about playing though. Sometimes nightmares where I'm late to practice and know gassers are about to go down.

    (Hangs head in shame) was about 25 pounds heavier back then with a much smaller bf %. Damn you college fraternity and desk job...not really, I had fun and would do it again.

    Sometimes wish I was born in the states just so I could see how I would have done playing American football in school !

    Junior High my best position was the bench. I was terrible. Tennis and swimming were in my wheelhouse. Sure love football. Huge Chicago Bears fan here. Anyone think my team has a shot this year?

    Played OT DT and in junior high I had a special play where I was a Full Back. Played on special teams also. A few years ago we had an Alumni Game it was great to practice and put the pads back on. It was alot of fun.

    Kickoff and punt returner. I was 5'8" 145 lbs. Way too small to play anywhere else. Didn't experience my growth spurt until college.

    I currently help coach my 11 year olds team. Girls were not allowed to play in my high school. So now I take it out on kids by beaning them with tackle dummies.

    LOL

    I started playing soccer at the age of 5...when I got into high school, I had never played football. I was on the field watching the boys and wondered if I could kick the ball through the goal posts and after a few tries I managed it. The coach had been watching and had me move the ball further back to see what my range was and told me I needed to tryout. I played all four years of high school (three different schools...Kansas, Louisiana and California) and loved it. I got to play receiver during practices and a few scrimmages, and then got to play in a few actual games my senior year. I got razzed in the beginning of each season at a new school, but it usually died down after a few weeks.

    Just curious. I played G, T, MLB, FB, OLB, DE, DT, K and P at one time or another.

    There aren't many positions left (16 possibilities listed right there)...you could have been the 1 man team!

    I got cut from my University team, though I was only 5'6" about 150lbs, which is still more than I weigh now. In senior ball I was the smallest guy in the league.
