Like I said bro get the tape.........because heres the deal.I can help you, but you need to make a decision ....and here is my advice.......Football player personal guys don't impress easy.I will compare my numbers to yours, only because we play the same position and these were legit numbers that I tested out 11 years ago .......they were also the only reason besides my coach trying to sell my ass that I got my shot......I repeat the only reason......I am a hair over six feet. I weighed a very lean 228 at 6 % [clean lifetime] .I ran a 4.46 when they timed me.And had a fourty and a half inch[40.5] vertical jump.My shuttle time was 3.88.And I benched 225 42 times. [record at the time for dbs, most do 18-22 reps ]The scouts told me the I was the most impressive workout guy that they had seen in years. But there was a guy named Ken Harvey from cal a year prior that was a lb that put up similar numbers .And he was two or three inches taller than myself.[ he had a couple of All pro seasons with the redskins and payed 8 to 10 years] But think about it was my numbers that really opened eyes. I mean Roy williams of the cowboys would have problems matching those numbers.[ and he is heck of a player] Ronnie was a 4.7 -4.8 guy most of his career.But he came from a big school that brought him lots of press.Look if I were you , I would do this .Play inside lb, get your bodyweight to a hard 235 -240 ,work on that agility time and 40 .[ try stay in the 4.7s]you have been playing that position and will be most comfortable there.If you have quick feet , are very intelligent ,and are a great tackler they might give you a chance .Make sure that you really are on top of your special teams game as well.[ the tackling in the NFL is getting worse every year and I assure you ,Zack thomas isn't any better athlete than yourself or london fletcher for that matter] So truethfully lb is the way to go for you my friend.And when go camp [ even look into the paid free agent camps in april] give the coaches eye contact always [ and know your shit, as well as where everyone else is as well] give the extra respect of yes sir / no sir.[ coaches get so much of that thug atitude now days., they love when a player gives them that extra respect]And when it is time to hit .....fuck people up.Every year since I played pop warner starting at 8 , guys talk about loving to hit and all this shit.But when the trueth is, each team will have only a couple of true hitters, that is it.[ in the pros maybe 5-6 ] Just like fighters [ Ivan can attest to this , talk is cheap] it is when people are flying around full speed that the men get seperated from the boys.I went to camp trying to fight anyone and everyone , it got to the point where the coaches had to have a talk to me to settle down.Guys would not talk to me .....And I really could not careless [ most were dicks that had their asses kissed their whole life]I studied hard and made sure everyone in my position was nervous around me.The only reason that I made it was because my athletic ability and aggressiveness.My injuries in college didn't allow me to have enough expirence to feel comfortable.I was just learning the ropes in my second year when my ACL went for the second time [ same knee] and I was done.God , I miss it . [ would have liked to see how I would have done]Good luck , with things .Stay healthy , get that tape. If I can help you, I will.Stick with Lb [ work on speed and agility and put on that size ] You can do this ......chase your dreams my friend ....and punish those that stand in your way......Stay healthy ....I will help you if want
