Will I get destroyed playing football?

8th grade 5'11 125 pounds. I look skinny too. I am really fast. I play Tight End because youth football doesnt have Wide Receivers for us D; thanks for your answer!

Update:

mine defense position is linebacker, but i definitely not a starter on that position, im really good at zone, man, and tackling someone on the other side of the field. I play outside linebacker btw.

Update 2:

well i can tackle someone, but not good at it. :O

    I'm skinny too. I wanted to try football. If you're fast, that's a plus. Skinny? Not so much. The thing is, if you get hit, it's going to hurt. But if you think you're fast enough, go for it. I suggest doing tryouts, see if you like it. Hope that helped :)

    What is your defensive position? Players in Pop Warner and 8th grade football have positions on both O and D.

    I was your size at the start of the 8th grade season because I was 12 and had just lost enough weight to play Little Gridders too and I didn't get killed by the bigger, older guys. It was weird going from being the biggest and fastest in LGs on the weekend to average for 8th grade during the week but it was still fun.
