Size matters, but usually the important thing is the actual skills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BayRaider Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 254 is pretty big for 5’11”. I’ve never seen such a size in the NFL at any position. I’m assuming you may have too much muscle for your frame and you might lack a lot of agility in football which is definitely needed. You may be able to pull off a short MLB role but I think your best bet is to cut 20-25lbs and try to be a traditional fullback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tugboat Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Very Wide receiver. Or...i think the proper term is Thicc receiver? Don't see it much in the NFL though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I played prop .....judging by the above I'm guessing I'm too big for my height if I was to drop 20 pounds would it open up a more obvious position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen slot of people say that the role of a fullback has changed loads over the years ...what is the general role of a full back to block or act as a another running option ?

Both. On teams like the 49ers and Raiders, the Fullback is actually the main ingredient to the run game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutting 25lbs???Come on now. Bad advice. I do agree with linebacker/fullback but I actually think your best position could be TE. You're like a hybrid offensive lineman who can catch passes. If you can run well, it could be a good position for you. We have no idea what kind of scheme they run, they may not use a full back.

Haha yeah to be clear I have no delusions of somehow making it to the NFL 😂 I am a big fan though andi do wanna be the best player I can possible be ...which is why I wanted to get an idea of position to focus my attention on to optimise my game ...I like the idea of being a TE and especially if it doesn't involve cutting weight haha ...when you say they might not even use a fullback ...this is where some of my confusion comes from do not all teams play a full back or a traditional one anyway ? Again I'm new so just getting to grips with it all haha cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
