Big hat, no cattle!

You're trying to tell us that you've got 12 or more 300 pounders from just 1 or 2 high schools in your area that can run a 4.8/40? Nothing personal, but that's just an immense load of Texas doo-doo. In the 2005 NFL Draft Combine for projected draft picks-- graduating college seniors iow-- the average time for the positions where you're gonna find the 300 pounders- i.e. offensive linemen and defensive tackles- the average times recorded in the 40 for offensive linemen was 5.2 to 5.3 seconds, and the average times for defensive tackles was 5.1 to 5.25 seconds. Any time under 5.0 seconds for an offensive lineman and 4.9 seconds for a defensive tackle was rated SUPERB. And you're trying to tell me that you've got a dozen local 300 pound high school players that can already run better times in the 40 than 99% of the drafted NFL players - college seniors- at that weight? Get serious.

Methinks maybe your local high school should apply for the next open NFL franchise available. It's probably got enough players now to give it one of the greatest lines ever in the NFL.
