All i have to say about this is Priest Holmes ... 5'9 ... 213lbs ... and is arguably one of the best running backs in the entire NFL. While he has decent size in terms of body weight, his height is certainly on the smallish side for the NFL ... of course, he isn't exactly in a position where height would play any real advantage

213 doesn't exactly land you as a small back. He's short, but he is beefy. Now, look at Emmitt Smith, the NFL's all-time rushing leader...now HE was small for an NFL player. But you know what? If he was walking down the street, he'd probably still be one of the "biggest" people there.

% of asians in america > % of whites in china

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.

maybe i missed it, but what exactly is your point? nobody asked for reasons, she was merely asking if there were any asian football players. i don't see why you all had to turn this into some huge debate... simple question.

Dat Nguyen, linebacker for the Cowboys. He's Vietnamese.

cool..is he well known? are there more??

he's well known cuz he's the only one lol

i remember him when he played for texas a&m

Dat Nguyen is pretty good. I remember him being drafted in the 2nd round (i think).

Both R.C. Slocum, who formerly coached Dat Nguyen in college, and the Cowboys staff have all said that he is one of the hardest working players they have worked with.

I know, I know..... such a compliment coming from the Cowboys doesn't say much anymore.

Yeah the Morton brothers are half Japanese, they are from Torrance.

Timmy Chang, the QB from University of Hawaii, has an outside chance to make it next year.
