Place-kicker and nothing else. No offense but if you are used to playing only Soccer which is a non-contact sport you are going to find out very quickly that the helmet and pads don’t help when you take a big hit. And you will take a big hit in any other postion other than Kicker, so I highly recommend that!!

If you try out for anything else you may find that you don’t feel like playing American Football anymore!

RB (right bench)
Obviously you weren’t a very good soccer player either.

a kicker

Answer by lmtfa001
Kicker and punter are obvious but as a soccer player you must have foot speed, agility, and stamina so I suggest either WR, CB, or safety. I would probably try safety or cornerback first as you probably do not have much experience catching a football.

I hate it when people ask these questions. How about saying how well you can catch, kick, pass, or even block. Most Soccer Players I know end up being a Corner or Wide Reciever because of their speed.

Running Back
Wide Receiver
Safety
Cornerback
Kicker
Quarterback

Usually soccer players in high school are more athletic then the football players; many of which are overweight, so you could make the transition to any of the above rather easily if you’re in soccer shape/conditioning.

Many great athletes have started playing soccer only to move to another sport; such as Hakeem Olajuwon, Kevin Garnett, and Chad Ocho Cinco.
