I’m about 5’1″ and 90 pounds. I’m not very big but I can bench more than half my body weight and run 17 mph. This would be my first year playing football. What position do you think I would be put at, and would playing football even be a good idea for me? I’m thinking of playing because my friends on the team say I should join and I do want to.

Yes. You should play football… Your coach will decide your position.. He has more knowledge about your team than anyone…. Good luck…..
Yes, I highly encourage you to play for your 8th grade football team this upcoming season. It will still not (yet) be too late for you to start playing football.
Based on your height and weight, as well as your speed, I believe that the best fit for you is at the wide receiver position. You have the ideal size for an 8th grade wide receiver. Keep in mind, most 8th grade wide receivers are shorter than 5 feet, and weigh less than 1 pounds.
My best advice for you is to work hard and perform very well in practice every day. In addition, what you need to do this (and every) summer is eat healthy, exercise by doing weight lifting, and either jogging or going for a long run every day. If you do these things, you will get faster, stronger, and into better shape, which will greatly improve your chances of becoming a successful, top notch wide receiver in football.
You should I mean that’s really fast. I bet you could take down anyone with your speed, football requires strength and speed. I think you will
be a running back. Also height doesn’t matter I mean the smallest nba players made hoops on the bigger players.
U can play as undersized corner or rb and if u tackle hard u can play as a undersized mlb in 3-4 defensive scheme
Benching more than half your weight isn’t impressive just to let you know (that would be just the bar if you are 90lbs). Who the hell measure speed in MPH???
I have no idea with these numbers. Don’t do it just cuz your friend tells you, only if you like to play the sport.
YES!! You need to learn all the terms moves plays and every thing cuz if you go into highschoold not knowing you may be special teams and that could be it.
yes.
