He was prototypical size for a S in his day. Players are still the same relative height today (5'11 - 6'1) on the back end for the most part, but their lean muscle mass pushes them up 10 or so pounds that in bygone eras.
Just what I've gleaned from coaches in the know.
Lott hit on Christian Akoye always remains engrained in my memory. Changed that man's oil!!!
