Don't get too confused. 5' 8" guys don't often make it in the NFL or NBA. The circumstance is one particular to the heavyweight division.

For example, the AVERAGE height in the NBA on a team by team basis using data for the 2007/2008 season is as follows:

There are approximately 450 players (15 players per team X 30 teams) on the roster for the year.

The NFL has a great range (from small speed positions to huge linemen) covering a much larger number of athletes (53 man roster x 32 teams = 1,696). Athletes range from 5'10" (5'10" to 5"11" for some small halfbacks and small cornerbacks & safeties) to 6'10" (for offensive tackles).

The AVERAGE comes out to about 6'2" and 245 lbs (the AVERAGE weight of an offensive lineman is about 315 lbs with the maximum reaching around 350 lbs).

Defensive ends are quick, fast, 6'5"+ and 250+ lbs and extremely good athletes.

I was talking about the other kind of football: the most popular sport in the world. Footballers are of similar size to FMJ, Mosley,Williams etc. and there are much more football players than NFL/NBA/basketball players. Your logic is sound but you apply it where it suits you.
