Not 100% right... I know this - Their OL and DL do not stack up size wise v the Ohio State or Notre Dame of the world.

If they do have their weight requirements waived, they probably keep it down for school.

Well the body fat measurement is done by measuring the neck and subtracting that from the waist measurement. So I would be interested to see if they are actually in violation of the body fat measurement based on their height.

I just need to find that now...
