    Yeah, players were smaller in some areas but in others they were still some big dudes. Johnnie Cooks, Billy Jackson, Tyrone Keys, Glen Collins could have played in an era as could many others Mardy McDole, etc.

    The 90s though brought some meat with JWS teams. He had some athletes big time.

    OK, I never said how much any of them weighed just that they could play in any era regardless of size. I think Johnnie Cooks was a pretty good size for LB though.
