Actually, according to the BMI chart, most fullbacks would also be classified as obese. That's the problem, it focuses on height /weight ratio and doesn't take into account muscle mass.All NFL lineman are considered to be obese by the medical profession.
So I have read.
Twenty-eight percent of all pro-football players born in the last century who qualified as obese died before their 50th birthday, compared with 13 percent who were less overweight.

Ted was immense, but he seemed to carry that weight more naturally than Vince. Ted's somach is huge but he was built more like an enormous brick. Sphere is a good word for Vince.He's listed at 325 on NFL.com. I'd say he's closer to 350. Vince is 6'2".
Ted Washington was listed at 375 and I think he was 4 bills, but he was 6'5" too. I think Wilfork would just be a sphere at 380,
Bianca shoulders some of the responsibility, I would assume. But as long as he works out and keeps those arteries open, he's probably OK. It's after he retires that the pounds must come off.
Speaking of Jamie Dukes, last season he was asked if he could have any player in the NFL to start his franchise, who would it be? His answer was Micheal Vick.

I tend to think of Wilfork as more of a bison type of guy than a "power pig".
