And aggression.

All this stuff about the 28 year old 250 lb. adult manhandling the 140 lb kid in the scenario seems to be an image conjured up by the media.

6’3” High school football player. Reportedly weighs 140. True or false?

250 lb guy in late 20’s. How tall? Is it more likely he’s a guy who couldn’t run 50 yards without collapsing, or is he an in-shape weightlifter?

There are no facts being reported, just political propoganda.

Doesn't sound quite right. From my own experience, I was 6 ft tall, 112 lbs at age 12. By age 14 I was 135. Age 16 at 165. It took some years to lay on muscle over my skinny frame. At 17 I was up to 176 lb and burned back to 168 lb to be in a more competitive weight class in judo tournaments. The 140 lb weight for a 17 year old 6' 3" male doesn't seem reasonable for a "football" player. Our varsity high school football players were 200 to 220 lbs of solid muscle. Not much fun to face in the morning PE class.
