Plus if white people are so slow then how come the worlds fastest soccer player is a white guy (Messi)? Using race to determine athletic prowess is as useful as a hangnail. In short Iagree with Fred.

Sure theres exceptions to every sterotype, and I agree that with the OL especially its probably the only position where it doesn't matter what race you are cause they all perform the same. QB I tend to go white, but don't get me wrong there are a lot of black QB's that are or where good. McNabb comes to mind first. But RB is, in our day, a typical black position. Like I said in my original statement name me one good white running back in the NFL. Riggo played in the days when players ran 4.9's and there weren't really any 4.4 speed guys. He played in the days when a 300 lb lineman were a rarity.
And I've seen Gehrhart play and he's a great college guy but not an nfl guy. He's just like jacob hester IMO, and Hesters been pretty lame for the chargers so I say save this pick for an OLman
