We would if u could give us a little more info. BF%, 40 time, have u ever player a sport before? If so, what sport and for how long? And how old are u? If u lift weights, what are ur three major lift(flat bench, squat, and deadlft) maxes or at least what u work out with?

There is only one postion that you'll be able to play thats line. If your 6'3 280 you may be able to play end on defense, but most likely you'll play O-line I would sugest tackle or maybe gaurd depending how strong and fast you are. You are to tall to play center.

[wl270]

depending on your speed you could make an insane defensive end if you worked on it. otherwise i would suggest guard or tackle on offense.

[Oafy]

I would say that you could make a good O tackle or D tackle. And possibly defensive end.

With some work at your size you could deffinently play Guard on Offense. If your quick, you may want to look into playin Tackle but if i were you ide play Guard.

If you join football and work hard you should be able to play anything you want on line. If you really work hard you could play anyting. In order to do that when you condtion run hard and dont stop. It is all mental you feel like your legs are going to fall off but remember you are getting better. Last thing if you are a bodybuilder remember sprinting is #1 way to lose fat...so losing weight come easy.
Put your mind to it you can do anything... my first year I came out to football i was 275, i wasnt a lard ass but i didnt want to play line, with hard work in summer I got down to 225.
Eat right, lift, sleep, and run

Our center is 6'6 1/2 weighs 305 and he's freakin awesome. He runs a 5.2 which I think is pretty good for his size and going into his junior year

[BIG FORD]

that is funny our center is awesome too, he is 6'2 or 3 about 295.
he as well is goin to be a junior this year and get this he runs a 4.9 forty.
he is awesome when it comes to the weight roomtoo, benches 365 and box squats 700, and everything esle is good as well.

Now, Thats a Full Ride Scholarship, to a big College, walking right there!

I bet he goes to a big school for college if he can produce on the field those are great stats!

[BIG FORD]

yeah in fact some big colleges are talking to him like Pitt, WVU (because he lives in WV), and i think Syracuse.
i would say he is definetly college bound

[kyumlor]

Yeah I am also a Center for my JV team, and He is now my new idol! I am going into my Soph. year, and my goal for the fourty next year is a 5.0 and my bench goal is 300. So hopefully by my senior year I can reach him!

a 4.9 forty at 295 lbs is pretty damn incredible.

where do you get having to be quicker to play tackle?

unless you're tackles are pulling alot, it's usually the more idle position.

my school the guards pull

[elnino57]

yeah o-tackles are your slower guys on the line.

If you are fast, strong, and agressive then your weight and height would be perfect for Defensive End

[FAH_Q]

You could play UT or DE. UT is just a smaller penetrating (no homo) form of a DT. You also would be a great fit as a 3-4 DE with your size right now, but IMO i would try to shed a few lbs and concentrate and power and quickness and shoot for 4-3 DE.
