And there have been even more w/ similar build who were not able to carry the load due to size/build. So, going by percentages, he's unlikely to.
The more I look back at the size of great NFL RBs, the more comical the original statement becomes.
You can't just hand wave and claim "going on percentages".
Percentages are against players having multi-year success in the NFL.
To look at percentages it would have to be RB that had legit NFL ability but broke down due to injury issues.
Those numbers would have to be compared between "smaller" RBs and bigger RBs with regards to the percentage that "broke down" within a short time frame but in a time frame that was long enough to verify that they had legit NFL talent to be long term RBs if they didn't break down.
There are many RBs that flash every year and then fade away, but many are not due to "breaking down" but are due to limited talent.
