People always think lighter guys will get killed. It just isn't so. Some guys have a knack for never taking the big hit. Marvin Harrison was never more than 168-175 pounds and until his knee gave way was super reliable. Same for Isaac Bruce. Then on the other hand, some big guys are injured a LOT because they don't know how to avoid contact. It's not about weight as much as it is about taking all those big shots. Some guys just never take em. We all remember Ed McCaffery. He took a big shot on every play for some reason. He just never knew how to avoid those shots. Dexter appears to know how to avoid them as well. At least at the college level.
