The majority are the 5-10 - 6' player who has some decent ability. There are some others that are 6' to 6-4 who have decent ability too. We are who we are, and we sure arent Football players

People melted down on another BOTC feed when I mentioned that in the UA and Iron 44 combines, the winning 40 yard dash times NATIONALLY are in the 4.7-4.8 range. Yeah, part of that is that very few lax players are taught how to properly explode off the line and run a 40 yd dash properly, but another part of it is exactly what you way. 5'10" - 6'2" moderately fast kings unite! (5'7" - 5'11" for D2/D3/college club). Benching 305...but not 500. Running 5.5 minute miles, but never sub-5 minute.

And rather than associate it with race, I think anymore it's more tied to socioeconomic class.
