There is no evidence to suggest smaller guys are more injury prone than larger guys. In the real world, there is actually evidence to the contrary.

Sure except everything you said is is completely off base as far as the NFL is concerned.

The position in the NFL where players tend to miss the most games due to injury is the running back position. Running backs are frequently involved in high-impact plays, often taking hits from multiple defenders. Their role requires them to run through crowded areas, make sharp cuts, and absorb contact, which increases the risk of injuries such as knee injuries (like ACL tears), ankle sprains, and concussions.

Other positions that also experience a high number of injuries include wide receivers and defensive backs due to the physical demands and high-speed collisions involved in their roles. However, running backs typically have the highest injury rates and often miss the most games due to the nature of their position.
