How many of you had a hard six pack as a freshman in highschool??? And i start for varsity and we won districts but lost in the states by 3 points in OT.

[upbrownie22]

Why would u call a footbal player fat ur just a bunch of morons!! Im a 6'1" 160 pound DE/LB/SS as a FRESHMAN in highschoo!!!! Its all muscle BTW fags!!! how manny of you had a hard six pack as a freshman in highschool???

[retards893318]

i am 4'8 and an lb and i am 12

[TheMmafighter1996]

@retards893318 pretty sure no one cares???

[timboslice71792]

Yea I'm 5'5 and weigh 197 pounds I've played o- line and d-line. This year playing linebacker. As long as you can read the play and make the tackle then go for it.

[sambahaydi]

@timboslice71792 damm dude you're fat

[XFavioxXx]

@timboslice71792 dude i dont wanna sound effensivebutim 5'4 only weight 111 pounds and im the quarterback in my football team

[TheMmafighter1996]

@timboslice71792 lmaooo you sound fattt but im 5'7 and 185 i play o LB

[kookieless]

@TheMmafighter1996 u relize many nfl linebackers are fat it gives them the strength

[DeathDice11]

@cameronimmyself I think you should try for free safety or maybe even fullback or cornerback but the position you play normally comes from your mind you think what you can play and check my below comment for any more help

[DeathDice11]

@deadlockedd12 you should go for defensive end or tight end because at 5'5 some fullbacks and halfbacks could stomp on You if you hit good maybe lose ten pounds and go for strong safety but I'd stay more towards line I'm 6'1 at 165 and 15 yrs old I play ROLB and I do good I start for varsity so yeah I hope this helps

[armykid567]

i wish we could train like this in offseason

[mcsroyals]

wow you guys suck... stop trying to sound really awesome on your computer, you guys should really shut up and try and get better instead of showing off...

[deadlockedd12]

I'm thinkin about tryin out for this position, I have a really good tackle my cardio needs a bit of work but im only 5'6 and i wiegh 190. Is this a good position or should i try something else?

[4Saucy2Experience0]

I bet most of you liars are like 3rd string 8th grade linemen

[CameronImMySelf]

Uhmm... I'm a freshman I play outside line backer , myjob is to contian more than fill in the gaps... It's better for me though because i'm only 5'8 and 135 lbs but i guess i'm pretty stronng for my size... my squat is 275 and bech is at 150( but very soon will be goin up) and dead is at least an easy 300 lbs... I'm fast and hard to block...i think the only reason i really play is becausei can hit really well, mainly because i have form and drive, but anyone have any advise fo a dif. pos.?

[michael13374]

@CameronImMySelf you should chop...you wont get runned over

[michael13374]

@CameronImMySelf you should chop...you wont get runned over oh n think aobut playing saftey

[SCAYREone]

[3o6Productions]

[shabbyproduction]

[Xboxlove1]

[shabbyproduction]

@Xboxlove1 yeahh man lol thats a good size for a linebacker anyone playing linebacker under 170 thats also 6ft shouldnt play linebacker

[joaquinmoreno0530]

6 ft 210 bench 255 squat 345 and play for maryvale #55 

[monsterjamfan123]

[huntingwolf20]

36 years old

5'8" 210 lbs

45 pound bench (the bar)

40 yard dash in under 15 seconds

Armchair linebacker or any position I can yell at my TV about.

[Mr5um41]

@Brownsfan825 Hahaha, so you're telling me you can run a 4.4 when jerry rice could only run a 4.6 when he was 22? Funny joke kid, but seriously get off the computer.

[godmax1]

im 13, 5"7 and i dont bench or do anything because i dont wanna mess up my back at an early age but i play lineback anyways

[geraldhatch]

@godmax1 well i m14. if u dont play high school ball u shouldnt lift waits tho. some workouts you can do. but dont so ones that work on legs and back. u can do the bench because its for your chest. i just started working out this summer and im going to be on varsity. so it does help tho.

[MrBeatles96]

Freshman-13

6'3 235lbs

250 bench

4.7 40

DE or LB

[Mr5um41]

@MrBeatles96 Yea and you play at don bosko and are signing to the gators in your junior year right?

[MrSnackization]

that is a small line backer

[dude123549]

i'm like 9 ft, benching about 1000, hitting a 3.5 for the 40, i weigh like 300, yeah just that bad ass guys

[GoldenTatr]

im 16 6'3 and 165 i am a wide receiver/safety right now but i would like to make the switch too linebacker i have good vision and am very fast

[babooningsten]

I used to play safety, today my coach said im starting outside linebacker because i have good coverage. im skinny and about 5 '11 and weight 135. Am i too small for linebacker?

[sexydunga]

@babooningsten no if you want to play inside linebacker the you are too small but if its outside linebacker you should be fine because outside linebacker their job is to get the tightend or rush for a sack

[Buckeyeblitz47]

im 5'6 125 pound and a junior should i play linebacker or defensive end? I run a 5.4 40 and bench 105 2 times. i also squat 165

[sexydunga]

@Buckeyeblitz47 Neither bro i will recommend you play running back

[34steelers36]

@Buckeyeblitz47 that's pretty pathetic for a junior playing football haha

[Buckeyeblitz47]

@34steelers36 jk bro

[geraldhatch]

@Buckeyeblitz47 u shouldnt be line backer then. im a freshmen and im 5 9 and 238 and run a 5.5 and i bench 165 seven time and squat 190

[dsatalino1020]

@geraldhatch thats a slow 40 yard dash dude, and a low squat

[Mr5um41]

@geraldhatch Sorry but you shouldn't be playing linebacker, i'm a freshman playing outside linebacker 5'6, 140 pounds, bench 160 and squat 280, and have a 5.2 40, by the way you have a very low squat and a fairly low bench for your size.

[geraldhatch]

@geraldhatch thats not my max. my coach actually made me bench 220 last . i can do more tho. i can squat more but i havent tried. i made jv nd scrimagged in the varsity. i also play OT nd d line.im not sure about my height tho i havent been measured since may

[brownie012]

im 17 6'1 240 pounds but im fast for my size do you guys think im too big to play linebacker

[pimpboy58]

@brownie012 nope

[sexydunga]

@pimpboy58 yes sorry but you could play defensive tackle

[Jaws67Rules98]

@brownie012 no thats average siz like 6'1 and 245 lbs is average so yep

[geraldhatch]

@brownie012 thats perfect size depending on how quick u are.

[scndhndmumu]

@Brownsfan825 so what do u run a 4.4 or 4.8? if u can run a 4.4 why didnt u write that?

[scndhndmumu]

does anyone have good advice for getting ready for the season...im a freshman and play linebacker im 162lb, 5' 10 and started serious lifting recently...how can i make sure i keep my speed while bulking up?

[lilboosieana2009]

am 5.7 173 pounds ..i rep 245 pounds on bench 2 set of six and curl 60.

wat does anybody think would be agood position 4 me? and am asophomre by da way

[Mr5um41]

@lilboosieana2009 How about QB, nosetackle, widereciever, and HB. All at the same time, because that's more realistic then the stats you just gave.

[AmyyDanielle]

My boyfriends a linebacker <3

[Sh0ckwave00]

[FreshKilluh]

[BlackMickey59]

i can run a half of a mile in 2 minutes 43 seconds.

[FlawlessLove1]

my son is 6'1 230 and runs a 4.9 in the 40he's tryin to go for linebacker cause he's small compared to other defensive end which is the position he's played since his sophmore yr. does he have good linebacker size?

[tbengal55]

6'2 190lbs 5.0 40 yard dash bench max 250 about, squat around 350-400. Should I play linebacker?

[Jaws67Rules98]

@tbengal55 no 

[gatorsfan58]

hey guys did u hear im 9ft tall bench 900 for reps weigh 650 run the 40 in 2.5 seconds and im entering the nfl draft AND IM ONLY 10! allright really u fuckn bitches stop trying to sound tough and brag over youtube........Now back to the video I play MLB for my high school and if anyone is thinkn about being a LB always make sure you play down hill and always be aggresive and make the contact first. Rember be the person hitting and not getting hit.

[crushapple2]

also being a defensive end, hit the tight end on every play and force him inside so you can read him if he's blocking or running a route, and then always stay outside the play and rush towards the ball outside-in.

[pryogod117]

@gatorsfan58 you are such a Liar

[SaltySangster]

@pryogod117 dude he was talking about the other people saying that , he was being sarcastic lol.

[dbananas69]

i played MLB this year but my coach put me to DE cause he thought i was afraid of contact, think about how stupid that is

[scndhndmumu]

@dbananas69 Thats gay if ur playing D line there is no way ur afraid of contact

[truckerwannabe14]

im left tackle

6'4

290

7.0

[Zefyrnov]

Im 14, 5'9, 240 pounds. Bmi - 34. I can run 50 yards in 8 seconds, and dont know much about football. can i still go out for football in 9th grade? or was 7th and 8th grade the only place to learn how to play? I wanna play linebacker but dont wanna go out for football next year and not understand even one word the coach is saying...

[delawarecanoe2]

i learned in 10th and i played linebacker and i was fine but it sounds like your out of shape...at linebacker you need to be fast and the 8 second 50 probably wont cut it because you may need to chase down running backs..chances are if you play you will be stuck at defensive tackle

[scndhndmumu]

@Zefyrnov Go out and ask for help good coaches will help you man... if i were u i would go out for Defensive end or nose tackle...

[Chnamanjx]

I'm 5' 6 inches, 155 pounds of mostly fat, and I probably run a 7 or 8 second 40 yard.

[Wakeman1987]

[ninjakan94]

[qulsonia]

[curtieboi]

[Ilovehoghunting]

[zack192595]

[mooseyman1985]

[BUffaloman420]

if the 160 pounder lowered his 40 time to under 5.00

[curtieboi]

no ,more of a line like end or sumthing

[curtieboi]

a 5.7 is slow as fuck

[vikdude366]

WooooooooooooooooooooooooooooW­

[playerbnny]

Nobody wants to fucking hear about how good you are at football on YouTube talk is cheap it could easily be bullshit nobody cares about how big u are how much u can lift and how fast u are get on the field and well see how good u really are

[germantown555]

omg you are my hero lol

[xDSxVengeance]

LINEBACKER MOTHA FUCKAAAA

[Danny81062]

Im 14 run5'8'' 235 lbs run a 5 sec 40, what and am going to try to play football this year what would be a position to go for.

[lacrossedog]

tight end if u have hands

[sammyolszewski]

fullback man

[Acook28809]

I run a four eight fourty. im just saying.

[McShits09]

you should go for towelboy becuase youre a fucking loser

[RenderMan50]

both o line and d line. not fast enough for backer.

[eddiep2788]

holy shit...4.5 40?!?!

u got to be kidding me

but u could be an excellent wideout, or cornerback...maybe safety but free safety

[NoobPsybot1]

4.5 at high school you can be an ace at everywhere O_O

try Tight End or Running Back with this speed of yours

[araiderLB]

mark play d end n tight end

[holenmysoc]

is this a pop warner team? those players are small

[Sherlokhomie]

mkay im 14, and im starting runngback for my team 5'11 157lbs. 40yard dash: 4.740 avergae rushing yards: 11yrds TD's last season: 32 im a freshmen and im not that big but im not undersized oh and im white its really not about size its about heart,stamina,talent, and the desire to play. thats what makes a football player

[bigb386]

your 5'11 157 4.74 is slow work on your speed

[eddiep2788]

yes u need all that but work on your body too, im almost 200 lbs and i have your speed, no ofense...u need to work on that speed

[Pikapika400]

I've been playing D End for a couple years now and I really want to be a linebacker. I have gotten a lot faster using ankle weights and running every day. Ive also gotten stronger in the weight room, do you ave any tips for becoming a linebacker?

[eddiep2788]

try asking ur coach one day...tell him u want to be a linebacker and ask him to teach u how to read as one...but really if u are a good DE u already know how to read and u'll probably know how to read as an LB, and also...don use ankle weights...they'll literally fuck up ur ankles

[UnderMyCup]

LMFAO, 115 you mean right?

[scndhndmumu]

why do people come out here and talk shit on you tube. when were talking football nothing matters untiil you are on the field with pads then we see who the mamby pambys are and the hard nose football players are

[ps38194]

14 starting hs linebacker 170. N wtf . the guy is wearing sleeves?

[eddiep2788]

why is size so important?

if u havent noticed bigger defensive players have problems wrapping up players like Maurice Jones-Drew

if u are 6-4 260 u wont easily grab a 5-7 215 lb guy like jones-drew

besides some linebackers are "undersized" and future hall of famers

[WORSTDAYOFYOURLIFE]

Do you really think that I'm 5'7" 220 I'm a start in semi pro

[eddiep2788]

semi pro dont really look for size

they look more for talent and ability

but if you really want to play anyone can do it....remember 5'6'' 181 lb Darren Sproles is taking the place of 5'11'' 221 lb LaDainian Tomlinson maybe he wont have the same power but he has the ability and the will to play

[EATPROTEINgetHUGeRus]

anybody can play semi pro lol

[bigxcee0808]

I see one glaring problem. The linebacker is wearin long sleeves. WTF?? Unacceptable.

[cod4willrock]

11,112 BEAST
