Anyhow, I read this article (about a month or so ago) dealing with height and the correlation to general athleticism. Basically, the idea is this; the shorter the athlete, the more compact is their musculature. This translates into more power, more resiliency, and more explosiveness ... among other characteristics. In other words, a condensed frame is more effective and generates more force with less effort (ergs and whatnot).

Interestingly, they stated that size does not necessarily correlate to injury (which seems to be more of a genetic and/or luck factor). It does, however, mean the athlete is pound-for-pound stronger than taller humanages. In other words, small can kick your ass, break tackles, knock your wind flat out, and score touchdowns.

He and Tyreek are clones body wise(height and weight) with Hill being faster and quicker but Hill's speed and quickness is such an anomaly that Thompson's speed and quickness are still amazing when you watch his game tape. Imagine, Hill,Watkins,Hardman,Thompson and D Williams all in on the same play. Who do you defend ?:drool:

I think he is going to be the dream version of what Reid wanted DAT to be.

DTrain could bench press 5 DAT's.

I think Andy Reid sees a lot of Brian Westbrook type playing ability when he watches Darwin Thompson. Same size, similar athletes, and similar skill sets.

He looks like Tyreek and B Flow had a baby.

I feel like he will do well for my favorite NFL franchise The Kansas City Chiefs!

The shortest distance between two points ... and a touchdown ... is north-and-freaking-south.

I think I shall dub Darwin, "The Punisher".

This is true Mr. Fax but those two directions don't exist on our head coach's ground navigation relay.
Wally's favorite running back t-shirt is a picture of Marcus Allen in a Chiefs uniform with big block letters underneath him exclaiming "VERBOTEN" (!)
