Okay, must admit, I love football, played it from 4th grade all the way through college. I always wanted my son play but he was so small. He played 1 year in middle school, and despite the fact that he broke the school record in the 40 by .2 seconds and was .5 seconds faster than any other player on the team, and could hit like a crazy !#$$%#&,)(&#$ he never got to touch the ball. He did start on the A team as a wide out and a corner back, but again, never touched the ball. Talk about burning a potentially good kid out.

The often-used excuse is that he is "too small.� I could never deal with the concept of being "too small," especially from someone living and coaching in the Wichita area. Did anyone ever hear of Barry Sanders? You would think that some people could learn. Some of his old coaches could not believe that he had never played before because he hit so hard and ran the ball so well in practice. However, none of those was head coaches.

Here is my question, how many little guys, especially wrestlers also play football? What are the records of accomplishment and experiences of those individuals? I know it is easy for the big guys to transition, but for little guys is football better or another sport?
