Who here /football/ ?

>who here plays a sport that 75% of the positions you can be good at for just being big
Sounds fucking sick

It's about speed off the ball and form, nigger

Yea until the other guy is stronger and faster and absolutely destroys you

5'6'', 175, slot receiver

lol literally every team sport?

>you'll never play under those Friday night lights ever again

obviously so, but lifting is a major part of football anyway. That's why I like it so much.

>tfw

At our school, Friday night games are fucking massive. You're treated like a celebrity.

>too late to ever play football

Should have tried out in high school. Might have gotten Veeky Forums sooner than 22 at that point.

>200
>defensive end

I hope you are a middle schooler

you can still excel at football while not being as big as the fucking pigs that play line. But you still are limited.

No. In "that pussy euro shit" being big isn't a huge advantage.
Baseball either. Basketball just helps being tall.
Hockey it helps but if you can't skate quickly you're useless.
Football is the only sport where you see things like "6'7" 300 pounder being recruited for football even though he's never played."

you don't have to be a pig to play DE.

i was unhappy playing but earned a lot of respect and now I look back and see how proud I made everyone and I have no regrets

Justin Houston was considered undersized at DE in a 4-3 at 6'3" 270lbs. You are not even big for a WR.

>Hockey it helps but if you can't skate quickly you're useless.
NHL teams still very often draft big kids with skating issues because skating is typically thought of as fixable.

Those aren't the first rounders, but in mid to late rounds, little skilled guys aren't valued or are considered too much of a gamble to reach for compared to big guys.

I play rugby with no gear except mouth guard. Some guys play with (soft) headgear because they've had so many concussions.

bulking up you'd be ideal to look like terrell owens

>tfw running back

5'9" 205 lbs

Rugby and football require different levels of gear because of how the games are played. You couldn't play football as it is now without it, well at least the helmet and shoulder pads

I don't think Europoors realize how hard people hit

Everybody would die if people played the same way without gear

is there an epidemic of brain damage among rugby players? Sure it happens in any contact sport, but it seems only emphasized in football, maybe its just not meme'd to be reguarly checked for other athletes?
Does it occur in anyone that lived an adventurous, rough and tumble life? not just pro athletes.

i should've at least taken strength training rather than regular gym as a fuckoff class

alas, there was no room for sports alongside marching band.

Football players seriously get fucked up fairly regularly, pretty sure its way worse than any other sport.

I tried football when I was in 8th grade, I pussied out and quit since I just wasn't a very physical person - having to tackle people scared me so much I'd get physically sick.

When I told my parents I wanted to quit, he made me call the coach and tell him over the phone. That was honestly one of the lowest points in my entire life that I still can't get over, just the sound of disappointment from running into everyone "hey why haven't you been at practice?"

I was 6'1" maybe 175-80 lbs at the time, now I'm 6'4", had I started playing earlier when all those other guys started and grew into it I probably couldv'e stuck with it, but when I first started I was playing with guys who already been playing 5+ years and I just couldn't handle it.

>6ft

>inside linebacker
was fucking lit
i miss those days

you did the right thing. you're a total pussy but at least you're a self aware total pussy. there's nothing i hate more than watching a guy shy away from contact. it's like, go play fucking tennis if you don't like to get hit

football isn't worth it, destroys your body even if only played at low level and never into mid 20s.. unless you're getting laid and everyone wants to be your friend.

>Tfw basking in Chad's Spotlight

constant concussions and early onset dementia are good reasons not to run headfirst into other people, user.

be lucky that your parents weren't faggots and made you play peewee

Idk man, I was the same size as you except I was an angry kid and decided to get big

That's kinda what I did, I had done swim team growing up and did that all through high school, wasn't too bad at it. It helped that the county I grew up in had the most competitive swim teams in the state, good swimmers came from here all the time.

Also, wrestle with sweaty guys or swim in a pool with hot girls? Wasn't a hard choice

What's the difference between a football physique and a bodybuilder physique?

What muscles do football players emphasize?

>5-11
>225 when I played
>LB/DE

Played 8th grade to 2 yrs of college ball. 3 year starter on a top 5 team in my state in HS. Went to a smaller uni to play for a good education, left because the school wasn't worth the money, transferred to another uni and was cut because I couldn't run right because of knee injuries. Decided to end it and focus on other stuff because no nfl future.

No regrets, but you gotta know when to give it up. It's fun while it lasts but everyone's ride ends eventually and you can't be that incredibly sad guy who still hangs on to his glory days.

Whatever happened to oakman?

>he does the same shit I do
But I don't train to be a bodybuilder so its irrelevant to Veeky Forums

He raped some chick and has therefore blown almost any shot in the nfl

Wreastling was a mistake should've done swim team instead.

Mostly just natural athleticism, but I did basketball as well, and I did jump squats with barbells there, as in, jump on a box, jump off, squat, repeat. Also, a lot of track workouts with sprints to do as much as I could to increase explosiveness, but like I said, mainly it's just natural athleticism

Guys who shied away from wrestling because it was "gay" and used the "I don't want to wrestle with sweaty naked guys" are insecure about their own sexuality
