Of course linemen were smaller then. Jerry Kramer was nicknamed "The Whale" in his day, and he was around 250 -260. He would be a minnow now a days.Speaking of weight, few people know that although Jim Taylor played fullback, Paul Hornung, who player halfback outweighed him by 10 -15 lbs. In his prime, Taylor went about 210, Hornung around 225. Other greats?  Nitschke went 240, Willie Davis was 245, Starr was 195 and Willie Wood went around 190. Henry Jordan, the Hall of Fame defensive tackle play at 235! Yea, players were a lot smaller 50 years ago!</blockquote>
