Is there hope for me playing football and being good at it?

I am about 5'11" and 146 lbs with clothes (no shoes). I really want to play football and be a halfback. I know I am light but I guess you could say I am willing to take hits and stuff. I am also fast (or so I have been told). I managed to outrun the best person on the track team on one of the 100 yd dashes. I plan to run with them daily to get better and I lift weights daily (alternating muscle groups) to gain weight and get stronger. However football is where I ultimately want to end up. So is there any hope for me being a half back and being good at it?

If your talking pro then no! I don't think you will play college either. You need to gain like 40lbs minimum, and run a 4.5-40. You can play HS.ball, and probably be okay!

Damn, 5'11 and 146? I'm 5'11 and 210, tall and big.





I'm not gonna be one of the suck-ups on Y!A who lie and say you have hope so that they can get the best answer, I'll tell you the truth.





You have no hopes in being a Running Back. Try something else.

Reply:You don't sound like you have the right body type to be a tailback.





Wide receiver may be perfect for you though.
