So I got the thought that american football incorporates any type of physique.

Say I would restart in america, which position may I be trained in given I joined an american football team? Post your physique and let passioned footballers answer it.

I am 6’3", good sprinter, physically resistant, average at about 190 lbs and can’t throw things.

What position I am good for (and what does it do)?

// edit: I could have been a receiver but I am a safety (sounds wrong tbqh).

    Let’s step back for context. The offense has a thrower, some catchers, a runner or two, and a bunch of huge guys who try to create a human wall.

    For each offensive position there is a matching killer on the defense. Linemen (tackles and ends) try to destroy the offensive wall. Linebackers try to kill the thrower and runners. Corners try to kill the catchers. Safeties try to kill anyone who has the ball, mostly catchers but sometimes runners.
