football clueless on what postion to do
Question
The beginning of freshman year i was 5'11 143lbs i thought since I'm a skinny guy why not show off my speed. Well in the end i couldn't catch very well for the only position i was cut out to do receiver i ended up being like 3rd string more like the 6th option no playing time. I want to start this new season off fresh I'm weighting in about 162lbs and I'm running the 40 in 4.7 range with a 22in vertical jump. I'm thinking about safety I played a little bit last year and thats what I felt comfortable at.Im only 15 still got some years till fully grown so do you think safety is the best position for me?

Dear Adam
Let me start by saying, that you are my number 500-question so I am going to take good care of you. Now that I got that out of the way, let's get to your question.
Your question is, how do you play safety? I am going to have to ask you two questions.
1. If you could catch better would you still like to play wide receiver?
2. Would you like to play both wide receiver and safety or just safety?
