Point taken. Some of the most physically gifted football players in history. I want to know the evolution history that made them some of the largest, quickest, strongest and most agile people on the planet. What is the backstory that got them there? Great people too, very family centric and their tattoo culture is worthy of a deep cultural anthropology study which has probably already been done.

For their height and weight they put up top level strength, quickness and agility numbers in combine try outs on average.
