    Do i have what it takes to play runningback?

    i am 15 years old and playing varsity next year and im hoping that if i dont start next year i will in 2 years these goals are for me for 2 years from now
    i am 5'7 GOAL 5"10
    135 pounds GOAL 170
    4.9 forty yard dash GOAL 4.5
    max bench 135 GOAL 185
    vertical 20 inches GOAL 30 inches
    this season i had 8 yards a carry so i know how to play runningback, just size strength and speed are a question
    and by grade 12 i wont have mmuch competition because the other kid is just like me however hes a huge pot head and wont work as hard as i will

    No I don't.

    Your future is in your own hands. If you work harder than everone else, then you will succeed. Don't discount the pothead because he might just have God given talent. Worry about your goals and push toward them. Eat plenty of good food and hit the gym keeping your goals in mind at all times. Good Luck!!

    i never understood that notion.

    the Patriots took a chance on TE Aaron Hernandez who had been known as a pothead and he's the most talented TE in the draft.

    Pot heads I draft, punks like Pacman Jones I avoid.

    Discounting someone just because they are a "pothead" will get your dick knocked in the dirt.

    He is complaining about trying to get a position over some "pot head" that doesn't even try. This is just a guess, but I am betting he is white, and the "pothead" is a naturally gifted black kid that runs circles around him.

    I think he said he was mexican. but i wouldn't be surprised if its either a naturally talented white kid or black kid. Not to be racist but mexicans are better fit for baseball or soccer not football

    I went and played....well shit half of the football team in high-school smoked pot! They'd rip your head off man. Pot is just what we did after the games bra. It was like a treat after the game we'd kick ass and then get stoned and nail the cheerleaders. What's ur problem guy.

    Saying they are not built for football is comical, there are other reasons you don't see more football players from that mexico.
    Here's an example, blacks.....lots of them in the NFL and NBA but not too many from lets say the Dominican Republic, in that country football isn't a major sport baseball is. Expose more Dominicans to football and you'll have more football players.
    Just to make things clear when I speak of Dominicans I speak of the Dominicans of African/Black backgrounds.

    Expose more Mexicans to football and you'll see more players like Anthony Munoz.
