Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 811824, member: 874"] Fitness by itself is not athleticism. I know a number of very fit people that can't play any sport. Lets's see any Nascar driver try and tackle McNabb now, much less in his younger days. When he was in his mid 20's they wouldn't have laid a hand on him. If you were to measure Nascar drivers against most of your mid sized d-lineman, say around 270-280, I'm confident that the d-lineman would run faster 40 times, shuttle runs, and agility drills (we don't need to talk about the strength tests). Then you could compare them with the skill position guys and the gap would really widen. I'm sure some Nascar drivers are athletic (the way some of us were in high school or college), but you don't have to be athletic to be a Nascar driver. [/QUOTE]
