NoSaint Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Some nifty charts broken down by position charting the average height, weight, and bmi of each position over the last 60 years. http://regressing.deadspin.com/how-have-the-weights-of-nfl-positions-changed-over-time-1545701731/@reubenfb amazing how much the average lineman has grown in that time.

KellyToTasker Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 The players are bigger, faster, stronger. They've outgrown and out paced (speed) the current field. It's bang, bang every play (regardless if it's run or pass). It's amazing how fast defensive ends and line backers are, especially when considering their size. Bigger bodies make bigger impacts (simplifying it of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
