I was a DB in high school. I got injured quite a bit. Of course, I was only about 155 lbs. as a senior. With today’s size and speed of many players, I’m constantly amazed that the collisions don’t injure more of the smaller players.
Speaking of DBs I am thinkming of Pat Fisher of Redskin fame (He did previously play a long time with the Cardinals !) Supposed playing weight was 175 lbs (Height 5 ft 9 inches) I wonder how he is ?
