I never would have guessed that any LB would play at these heights and weights, including our own Cooper at 6'1" and 230 lbs. These guys must be like 1% body fat.  Question for you then - what separates a big S from a small-ish LB, and what separates a small-ish LB from an Edge player?  It's a rhetorical question and meant for all.  I'm just interested in what you and others have to say.What I'm thinking is that it wouldn't be that hard for a S to bulk up 10 or 15 lbs to a LB, and ditto for LB to Edge.The trend in the NFL seems to be bigger and faster offensive players, and smaller and faster defensive players.  I suppose the exception on O and D would be the size of the down linemen, but even at 300 plus lbs, these guys are fast.  Mind boggling - 300 lb plus guys running in the low 5s for the 40.</blockquote>
