I would guess that all of these guys have very very very sick shuttle run and 40 times. And if some one has time please find the avg size of all the 70 D1 attackmen. I am guessing its not 5'9". So lets go back to the football example I can name you some great small players but 99 out of 100 people will tell you Football is a big strong mans game. Top 1% measurable s can overcome size and weight negatives in all sports but as a rule of thumb in all contact sports size and weight win. Also when I talk about stick skills I am talking about all the skills acquired from hours of practice on a wall or goal not what you are born with or acquire in a gym.
