[AceplayerXxX]

Im 5'9...210 (mostly fat) i play linebacker in a 5-2 and im in 8th grade.

[SnipingKinq]

@AceplayerXxX well thats a good place to start out for a linebacker just lift and run alot and turn that weight into (mostly muscle) and if your skilld enough you could play divistion 1

[walterjb14]

size doesn't matter all the time because im 5'4 142 lbs nd I play this position...but it is kinda hard because u have to workout to hang with oversized half a ton looking ppl...I used to play strong safety

[MrDell28]

im 14 5'8 150 lb RB , DB im a good ball player im goint to the NFL David Swen remember the name

[Thejohndoe44]

@MrDell28 ... LMAO!!!

[GayfishFTW]

[gobengals23]

Downfall4you

[gobengals23]

yeah im 17, 6'3" 260 and i would probably kick those guys ases

[downfall4you]

@gobengals23 arent you just soooo cool

[jagusana]

im 15 and im going for linebacker im 5'11 170 im doing wrestling but im not sure to do track or weights

[DAVID102296]

@jagusana i also play linebacker and wrestle and what i would say to do is, since you already have a good weight of 170, i would do track....... this will make you a better athelete and help with your cardio and stamina as a linebacker.

[HAHA96706]

@jagusana more running then weights i would said

[xxGiantsxx56]

@jagusana dude im like exact same maybe 5 more pounds im tryin to gain weight though

[ge2298]

Hey im 12 5"2 im going to play when im grade 9 could you post some more helpful videos?

[Deadlydan195]

I'm 14, 150 pounds and 11% body fat and I did pretty good freshman linebacker

[cagefighterish]

@Deadlydan195 hey im 14 as well

im 155 pounds 9% or 10% body fat and im playing freshman linebacker D end and fullback

[cagefighterish]

@Deadlydan195 hey im 14 as well

im 155 pounds 9% or 10% body fat and im playing freshman linebacker D end and fullback

[marksman623]

yo im 5'11 and 180lbs and i run 40 in 3.7 seconds am i any gud for this position?

[MrPissmachine]

@marksman623 no you need intelligence too

[MrBobsrevenge]

@marksman623 it really doesnt matter if your the right size or not but size helps but if you cant hit your not playing linebacker.

[bellan51]

omg how are u aloud to put out this bad info ur a horrible coach

[ADDmunky]

honestly, size doesn't matter as much as your toughness does playing linebacker. i'm a sophmore linebacker and i'm 6'1" about 190 and aggressive, so i make a lot of tackles, but my friend who's a fellow backer of mine is like 5'7" 140, but he's reckless as shit and gets hella tackles too. if you play aggressive, you'll be good at linebacker

[AristotlePhysics]

nice helmet hahhaha.

[Redinsfiar]

wtf with all the bull shit info in the comments jeez!!!?!

[ThemJusticeLeauge]

[dnmason55]

i play jr high fb im 5'2 130 lbs and wide would i be good 4 this psition????

[41admello]

@dnmason55 what defense do you run? formation i mean? i would try to put on a little bit of weight (muscle) for high school. also, work on speed. if you are this size, and have good strength/tackling ability, you could be better at the strong safety positon

[okaylopez]

im 6ft 200lbs em i any good for this position

[41admello]

@its not about size. its about how well you can play the position. work on ur tackling, and ur leg power. practice reading the guards. what defense do you guys use? i can tell you how to read the guards.

[jakstrike1]

Im 7ft2 403lbs and run a 4.2 40. can i play linebacker?

[TheFreshkidd310]

@jakstrike1 you would be perfect , just loose alittle weight , no offence

[sourskittles4295]

@jakstrike1 nah, ur 3 pounds too fat. sorry, try again next season

[jordangoskate]

hey im a freshman and im 14, 6'1 but im wide and pretty muscular,and im 165 pounds. would i make a decent inside linebacker?

[IdrinkPOPalot]

im 14 6'3 240 lbs im not fat im big all over

[Urstupid19]

@Envyrap cool do u think anyone gives a fuck?

[envyrap]

Im a freshman, And im 5'6 and 200 lbs. But Im not fat tho I lift lots of weights and muscle weighs more than fat.

[Mr5um41]

@envyrap i have an 10% body fat and i'm 5'6 145 pounds and i still look a little big at 200 you could be all muscle and still look like a fatass

[thatmetalheaddude]

would a 135lb 5'9 freshman be good at linebacker for freshman football?

[Roro0066]

@thatmetalheaddude Yea but most likely the will put him as a DE because of his height.

[envyrap]

@thatmetalheaddude nooo........ your to skinny but tall. If your fast enough you could prob be a good fit at Corner. But dont let me stop you man! If you take on a high protain diet for about a month youll make a great linebacker

[rawlikeraw]

Thats commen sense. Read the fuckin gaurds, shed the blocker, make a tackle. dont bitch out lol

[megadude664]

i feel retarded

[terrell568]

can u people understand its a how to video

[sonic7777]

THIS VIDEO DOESNT HAVE SHIT TO DO WITH READING THE PLAY... THEY SHOULD RENAME THIS "HOW TO BE A BITCH AND DONT GET HIT"

[tybinks96]

i'm 5'2''and i weigh 140 and in 8th grade i run medium speed and my stamina also lacks. m catching is pretty good and my tackles are powerful. i am also strong. what position should i play?

I'm 5'5, 170; I'm in seventh grade. My tackles are definitely strong - I've taken out kids older than me; I'm average in speed, though my stamina's lacking. I have playing experience, but not too much (not many places to play around here) - what position should I play?

[Xboxlove1]

[13kmoney]

[brownie012]

doing a 7 week strength and conditioning camp before football

[RiffsandBridges]

Well, If you are getting stronger on that camp, then I think you should go for Free Safety, Wide Receiver or (If you get strong enough) Running Back

[bonehead568]

Leftbench but if ur camp helps u then runningback

[Bassable222]

I want to ask a question. Would a 5'6 155lb middle schooler be a gool mlb?

[DunKnow55]

Maybe a better Outside LB

[triggereman]

@Bassable222 hell no you are way too small you neeed to be at least 6'1 225

[MrTopramen12]

@Bassable222 dude im only 5'6 145 pds and im 2nd string linebacker for varsity on hs

[tugaa1234]

im not the star player but the dude thtat is is the middle linebacker and hes a running back and is really good he could go pro if he wants to. and im in midlle school my team has won the last 3 bowl games we played in. we would go state but there is none were we are.

[666SYNSTER666]

u made no fkn sense nikkah!

[tugaa1234]

u have to read all my stuff to understand

[tugaa1234]

today i was playing liunebacker in our team vs team games and i had 1 int 2 sacs 13 tackles and 2 tds as tight end. yeah i know they suck at football or im just awsome

[JustinSuhr4]

an interception makes u look realllly good

2 sacs is actually really good at least if they're full sacs made by u alone

13 tackles niiiiice

and on offense having 2 tds is pretty good too

I mean unless ur the star player for the offense that's actually reallly good

u play highschool though?

[bluntedinatx]

look at that little dick of a coach! playing high school ball was no doubt the pinnacle of his pathetic life.

[petersnarski]

this is wrong in 44 when your playing right middle linebacker and the ball is sweeping left you don't make a strait pursuit

[suzuki400boi]

Ever since Hines Ward layed out Keith Rivers. All i hear is this "head on a swivel" term. I know it's true im just saying.

[heismanboy34]

thts a very old term it just got brought to light when hines ward started fukkin ppl up. thats like ever since aids was discovered ppl have said use a condom
