However, if you look at draft busts like Tony Mandarich, you know damn well at a certain point size at the highest levels of play does not matter. The O-line for the Denver Broncos Super Bowl champion teams for the 1997 and 1998 seasons was amongst the smallest in the league as well. The edge goes sometimes to an older player in the college ranks of comparable size or even smaller due to maturity and skill. Even with Chris Weinke, this did not convert to well in the NFL though. Someone should post a list of Div IA college players who are 24 years old or older so we can see how they measure up. -1 for -2 Total Brock

So you’re saying that there is not a difference between 19-year-olds and 25-year-olds?
