Football players are getting heavier and taller. I get it. When part of point is to hit and knock people down, having bulk helps. Getting hit with a paperclip at 30 mph is different than being hit by a semi truck at 30mph.



What I find interesting is that, if you're 6'4" and 240 lbs, or 6'4" and 310 lbs, the league has a place for you, but if you're 6'4" and 280 lbs, it doesn't. Too heavy to be fast, too light to stop others? It'd be good to see more about the data....
