I knew a guy some 18 years ago who was on the University of Washington Husky football team. He wasn't a starter but he was 6'4"-5" and weighed 340 lbs.

Those guys are getting fatter every decade. Not fatter but bigger and more athletic. Well at least on the defensive side. Check out Vita Vea who is a defensive lineman for the Univ. Washington Huskies. He is 6'5", weighs 340 pounds, runs 4.8 40-yard dash, and clocked running at 19-21 mph. He is terrifying and NFL scouts are drooling about him. |

2110s - Aaron Gibson, OT, 6-foot-6, 410 pounds Don't be ridiculous. There won't be enough food left by 2110 for anyone on the planet to get that big. Besides, football will be two hand touch by then and linemen will be irrelevant. |
