THere's also Kailee Wong and Scott Fujita, but they're not full Asian, i believe they are part Black, and Dat is known, but not well known he is a good Linebacker.

I am sure it is but the idea is that football is a game that requires size over pretty much anything. Typically, Asians are much smaller than the average White or Black male. It isn't anything major though it is just how it is. Plus, Asians are just now starting to be a factor in the major sports in the US. They only comprise 3.6% of the population and are not yet entrenched in the society here. Sure, they have been here a while, but their numbers have just now started increasing to a good rate.

Plus, there are plenty of Hispanics in the NFL as well as some Native Americans.

bs, ONLY lineman have the prerequisite of SIZE over anything else.

there is no such requirement for kickers, WR, CB, Safeties, RB.

John Lee was kicker out of UCLA i believe, he played like 1 game in the NFL. :)

he wasn't very good.

Obviously you don't know what you are talking about. WRs need to be tall but there are some that get away with being short but they have incredible speed and jumping abilities. RBs can get away with being slightly small but have to have brute physical strength and agility. Kickers I will give you... but other than that I can't say I agree. CBs and Safeties are typically 5' 10 or taller...

QBs have to be tall and big as do TEs and other positions. You can't sit here and say that size isn't a prerequisite; especially at the NFL level.

hehehehe, you made a ridiculous statement and now you continue to try and back it up.

in Football, it's NOT SIZE over everything else, if there was ONE single attribute more important than any other in the NFL it would be SPEED. A short fast guy will get a place in the NFL easier than a TALL slow guy.

That isn't true. There are very few positions in which someone who is small can suceed at. For some odd reason you are considering 5'10 to be small, but it truly isn't! Look at the average heights and weights in the NFL. The average height is easily over 6 foot and average weight is easily over 200lbs.

Where did i state a SIZE anywhere in ANY of my quotes? FOR some reason you think a 6'+ Ft Asian is Unusual.

Out of the 30 or so Asians I know locally, the only one over 6ft is my cousin.

Why don't you actually look at some rosters for some NFL teams before staying something stupid? Why would a coach draft some 5' 8" speed demon, where he can draft somebody 4 or 5" taller and 50 lbs heavier and can run just as fast as he can.

The Cleveland Browns roster. The average height is over 6 feet and well over 200 lbs. The Browns have 3 quarterbacks and they are all over 6'2". Their starting wide receiver lineup is at minimum 5'11" and over 190 lbs.

Even their punter Chris Gardocki is 6' 1" and weighs 200 lbs. Their field goal kicker, Phil Dawson , is 5' 11", 195 lbs.
