Great running backs are instinctual movers. They have great vision on the field able to see side to side. Also quick and powerful legs. If you want to train work on your legs, strenght them, and practice moving side to side quickly. Just remember a running back knows he's going to get him, but the good ones keeping their legs moving until they're down.

Rugby sides are comprised of 15 (or 7's) and American football is 11.  In Rugby, the side stays on the field pretty much the whole game.  In American football, there are specialist teams, offense, defense, special teams.  The teams some on and off the field during time outs and get plenty of rest compared to Rugby.  \n\nThe ball is slightly different.\n\nAmerican football is scored 6 points for a touchdown, 3 for a field goal, 2 for a run or passed extra point and 1 for a kicked extra point.  Rugby is Try is 5, conversion 2, penalty 3 points.  \n\nIn American football, each play starts on the iniative of the offensive side, following a break in the action.  The ball can be advanced only by certain positions who can move the ball by running it or by passing it to another player.  Plays from "scrimmage" usually only last about 10 seconds until the ball is down, upon which the players reform and start over.  In American football, players wear equipment and pads because of the frequent contact at scrimmage and the nature of hits caused by high velocity of the forward pass (getting hit by a middle linebackers after catching a slant at full speed is no joke...I haven't been hit that hard on a rugby field.  Also, players on offense are allowed to block defensive players at will, within certain guidelines.  There are no scrums in football...possession is determined by control of the ball.  No throw ins either.\n\nThat said, Rugby requires more stamina and delivers some hard knocks and dangerous encounters of its own.  I find Rugby more grueling and demanding than football.  The players are certainly more fit and seem to be hardier than American football players.

The best way is to look at the target, usually the stomach or lower.  Slide your head to one side an instant before hitting the target.  (If you don't it is a spearing penalty and more important leaves you open to serious neck injuries.)  Watch for the play to redirect you with his hands.  \n\nRemember that football is about leverage not size.  If you are lower you will move the other person.

well maybe your a little light but your young and you can always hit the gym....and 100 yard in 11 seconds is damn good man........thats like 12 or 13 seconds in 100m....the world record is like 9.87 or something.....now either way my friend if you play football your gonna need that ability to take a hit because your definetly gonna get hurt.....its the name of the game\n\nbut to figure out what you wanna do then you have to ask yourself what you wanna really do.......do you wanna tackle ppl and make interceptions or do you wanna score and have glory\n\nnow the higher level of competition you get the more the coaches dont try you out in different positions and you have to pick yourself....i had to do that and didnt like it becasue i got cut lol....i probably had more talent at running back but i tried out for defensive back and wide receiver.....learn from my mistake.....dont worry about getting cut or force yourself to do a position you dont truly love.....do the position that you feel most comfotably in unless the coach says otherwise\n\nnow the different positons are:\n\nquarterback: throws the ball and manages the offense....usually the team leader\n\nrunning back is divided in two....fullback and half back...fullback usually really big and is the lead blocker for the half back who is usually the main runner of the team...the running game and also both running backs catch short passes\n\nthe receivers are the usually the fastest players who run routs and catch all sorts or passes\n\nthe tight end is usually a big guy who is half wide receiver half offensive lineman.....they sometimes help out and block but most of the time they catch intermediate distance passes in the middle of the field\n\nnow the offensive lineman and the defensive lineman are the biggest on the field.....offensive blocks the defensive lineman when their trying to rush the quarterback\n\nthe linebackers are in the middle of the defense and usually stop the run or cover receiver in short yard situations \n\nand the defensive backs are divided in two....safeties are the last line of defense and stay back in coverage....the free safety covers the deep passes and the wide receivers and the strong safety stay closer to the linebackers for run support or cover the tight ends........of course there are exceptions and its not always like this..........and finally the cornerbacks cover the receiver directly and usually follow them everywhere on the field\n\ni would suggest with your size and speed and you say your small that you play corner but i never liked it because you have to backpedal a lot and you have to be quick to react and not just fast because you dont know where the receivers going\n\nsafety might be too hard for you the first year because you have to know all the receivers routes and stuff more and know the passing tree\n\nand if you wanna be on offense then you might wanna be a half back because you run and if your quick then you could be like the next barry sanders or you could shake the defenders easily\n\nor you could be wide receiver because most of them are really tall but there are shorter receivers that are quick as hell but make it.....like joey galloway or steve smith.....but you have to be able to catch and run precise routes\n\nfinal thouht get buff work out at the gym and find out what you love and what positon you would like but when working out at the gym dont lose any speed because speed is very useful and speed kills\n\ngood luck

At the scouting combine they measure how many reps a player can bench press with 225 lbs.  I know almost every half back can at least get close to 20, some over 20.  some of the really big offensive lineman can get around 40.  The kickers can usually get 3 even though they are exempt from the exercise.  Some of those kickers are a lot stronger than they look.

Footwork is one of the most important facets to the game of football - quick feet and lateral speed.  Aside from strength training, sprinting, and long distance running to build endurance, plyometrics is a very important and underrated part of any aspiring athlete.  Do a search for the word plyometrics and you'll find all sorts of good exercises and drills.  I used to jump rope a lot, it worked well for me.  But there are all sorts of things you can do, it depends what you have access to.  If you need further help with your search feel free to contact me.

For a QB they may have a long pad that goes from their wrist to almost their elbow.  That is for the QB to play calls.  It includes all the plays for the offense.

depending on what position you want to play you can accomplish it.\nyou said you are over weight you can use that to work towards being one of the line man. or guards\nif you want to play wide receiver or corner backs less weight helps, muscle and strength helps in being a running back or line backer or tight end position.

Once your in the NFL you need to be able to hit 50 yard kicks but in college 40 is good and high school 35 is good, alot of soccer players become kickers because of their legs and their leg strenght. It is hard to just train to be a kicker and only do that but if you play soccer its a great way to train your leg and then you just have to work on accuracy and consitancy in your kicks on the football field.

You can't do much about it, it is hereditory.  The best you can do is to keep yourself in good physical shape.  I once read that the shape you are is the strongest, and that many football players are shaped that way.  Just try to make sure that a lot of it is muscle and not only fat.

Train and be faster than the other players.  The more limber you are the better when you get hit that you won't get injured.  Also always go in at 100%, if you pull back from a tackle or something you are going to get hurt.
