Not to mention, players do not play at their billed weight. There's stories of players playing anywhere from 5-15 lbs less than what they're listed at, and sometimes on the heavier side in the case of linemen.Jigga94 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 5:51 am I still don't see how you are supposed to take anything away from this data confidently.
1. BMI varies wildly from site to site as players go up/down an inch or 5 lbs and it skews the entire sample.
2. The sample you are looking at for <26 BMI is insanely small and most of those guys were not Elite prospects.
3. The NFL has changed drastically since the likes of Calvin and Fitz. A guy like Tank Dell would not have survived 15 years ago. Now, its almost a hinderance to be tall (unless you can actually run routes at 6'4")
I see people trying to make a cutoff for 27 BMI. WR that are at least 6'2" and >27 BMI past 4 years
Rd 1: Burks
Rd 2: Mingo, Pittman, Claypool
Rd 3: Michael Wilson
Day 3: Gabe Davis, Peoples-Jones, and a lot of duds
It's a fun theoretical exercise, but it's based on information that isn't reliable and varies game to game.
