I could watch Smitty's highlights all day. Dude was such a beast for an average sized guy.

Average sized?  I'll admit that for NFL standards Smith was definitely not what id label your prototypical player but calling him average sized is a stretch. I mean I am 5-9 - 5'10 myself and even at the height of what I would consider my biggest build ( I lifted pretty serious for about 3-4 years ), I was still probably 10-15lbs of muscle off from Smith.  Dudes calves were about the size of watermelons.

Smitty was always accused of smuggling cinder blocks in his socks.  Dudes leg muscles were intense.  Little bastard could jump through the roof.

Probably should have used "smaller by NFL standards" than "average sized". But I agree, the dude was built like a house of freaking bricks. His muscle strength is probably one of the best reasons he could jump higher than opposing DBs.

I figured thats what you met...sorry didn't mean to split hairs or anything.  Back when I used to lift regularly, my arms and shoulders got huge ( my best attribute ).  People used to stop me all the time and ask about my diet / how I lifted...etc.  I am more or less 5' 9" and probably topped out weight around that time was 175lbs with 10-12% body fat.  People def didn't consider me average size for a regular person.  Compared to some massive body builder I was of course a little guy or even an NFL player.

    • No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.
    • Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
