agreed. Those guys played in an era where a 300 pound lineman was highly unusual.

The 'Hogs' that Riggins ran behind was the first line that was all 300 pounds, if I remember correctly.

So guys like Campbell and Csonka were bigger in comparison to the defensive lines they were running at. Like they were the size of a lot of the defensive ends.

For what it's worth, Derrick Henry reminds me most of Campbell.
