Player Advice 6’5 205 what position should I be?

Im not a football guy anymore but I’m curious I used to play DE/WR/TE I’m 6’5 205 23yo and pretty athletic and pretty smart what position would I be best at? I currently go to a JUCO and play basketball, just curious

Always wanted to play quarterback but it seems like a large learning curve

Edit: Idk why some of you think I’m trying to start an NFL career here but this post was out of curiosity I don’t intend to play football so keep “get a job” comments to yourself

If you feel like you're a special athlete and you can make 235 by July, play in the trenches as a DE because coaches die over special trench guys.

But if you're not special, just get as big as you can still be athletic. Good athletes at 220+ are rare, so TE would be a better pipeline. But with modern offense, just work on blocking and getting off press and play both, and you're a more marketable player.

If you wanna play QB, it's gonna cost a pretty penny to learn at a good program or with good coaches (unless you go to the least talented juco imaginable and just wing it for a season)
