Is it me, or

Turner is 5'10" I think. Sapp is barely bigger than that, but does break the 6 foot mark. If anyone ever trusts whats on paper then they're kidding themselves. Players shrink in person lol.

 

I remember meeting Haynesworth too. He was surprisingly small without pads on. Vandenbosch actually made more of an impression on me, because he was just plain ripped. Haynesworth looked just a little taller than me and not nearly as big as I expected.

 

Ran into Ray Lewis in Vegas 2 years ago.

I was amazed to see one of my taller friends towering over him. That said, Ray's arms may have been the biggest I've ever seen. His upper body is ridiculously ripped.


Also saw Finnegan at a bar in Nashville. Wouldn't have known if a friend hadn't pointed him out. Finny is crazy small.

 

Don't mistake small for weak. I think if you saw these guys running or lifting weights in person, you would have the opposite effect. You would be surprised at just how quick and powerful they are.

 

And you lived to talk about it?! Count your blessings.

 

Yea you can't see strength or speed. Certain guys carry their weight different. Even if Ray looks shorter in person you still wouldn't want to piss him off.

 

I can agree that Finnegan is crazy small.

I'm always surprised that I'm taller than most NFL players, but I still wouldn't say that they seem small. Most of them are pretty bulky guys.

 

Roy Williams (Cowboys WR) came to a Texas-Texas Tech game here in Lubbock a few years back and this dude was way bigger than what he looked like on TV. He looks pretty tall on TV but was even bigger in person. Was cool as hell too. He came through the Tech tailgating section and even drank a beer with us. He reeked of reefer and his eyes were totally bloodshot. But he was definitely bigger than what he looks like on TV.
