For those of you that don't know, the Pro Football Reference website was once solely owned and operated by our own Doug Drinen. Drinen has backed away a bit in recent months, but PFR is still among the best sites for stats and history on the web. Drinen and Chase Stuart regularly contribute to a blog on PFR that's heavy on stats, metrics and history. Always worth a read.
Anyway, with some of the new data that's available at PFR, Chase took a look at how the height/weight/BMI profiles of NFL players have changed over time. Aside from an earlier plateau for LB weight and BMI, I think the results were to be expected. And I think Chase's conclusions are all on target.
Good read if anyone's interested.

As a HUGE fan of baseball--reference.com it always saddened me that PFR wasn't even close in terms of site quality. However over the past few months they've made many upgrades that I really enjoy. It's bookmarked and a place I visit regularly.
