The thing is about those 350 lbs. monsters on the line is that they could still outrun damned near anyone on this forum. People underestimate how athletic those big guys are just because they have an extra 100 lbs. wrapped around their belly. That "fat" is intentional and helps them play on the line. |
I'd agree completely that the trench monsters are great athletes. In comparing Soccer and American football one of the glaring differences are these guys who aren't built for cardio. Granted you have to have endurance to play ~60 plays a game, but it is not the same. Even some of the quarterbacks, compared to soccer players are inferior athletes. However quarterbacks I'd venture to say face many many more complex schemes on the field.
