Dons D, not entirely true. I was an average ball player, and still went to a pretty decent school to play football. If you work hard and play hard someone will notice you and give you a shot.

I would agree with you wit, Size first, speed, then film.

I think you're misunderstanding me. I was stating that unless you have actual football TALENT, those things do not matter. They are secondary. Too many kids think "If I can run a 4.5 then I can go to the NFL.. or if I can bench this much I can go here.. or if I can jump as high as him I can do this". These are simply raw attributes, usually tested of high athletes to seperate the good from the great. For highschool kids to worry about these things is foolish. Go run some routes. Go work on your technique. Throw/Catch some balls. Work hard in the weight room, and stop worrying about going D1 or D2 or D3 or anything. It is a sport after all, so just do your best to get better and good things will come your way. Most players are drafted into the NFL off of their film, not their combine numbers. Remember that.
