NFL Players Heights & Weights and Best Fitted Prospects (A bit of fun!!)

There is a lot said about the difference sizes of NFL players, its probably one of the only sports in the world where there is a position for all shapes and sizes of men.

Below we will look at the top players in the NFL at each position. We have looked at their weight and height and worked out an average for each position. We then looked at the list of Draft Prospects and their size and height to assign each position a best fit.
