So I went a few places asking....
Could a 180 pound QB play in todays NFL?
Replies....
You probably already know this, but the lightest qbs are 210-220, so we're talking 30-40 lbs lighter. Can't see it.
Tyler Murray is the lightest NFL QB at 207 so you are looking at someone like 30 pounds lighter. Imagine an all-out blitz where you have a Ronnie Lott with full speed and on the blind side into the 180-pound QB. WAS Lott the guy who had a broken finger and just cut off his finger at home?
I don't see a pocket passer style QB that size surviving long. If he (pardon my gender assumption here) has some wheels he may last a little longer.......like the 2nd quarter of his first game. With defensive linemen/defensive ends as big as they are it spells nothing but doom for any sub 200lb'er.
How much did Vick weigh?
I would say he would have to be a freak athlete like Vick but the first time he takes a clean hit it might be over
edit. Just looked. Even Vick was 215
no way a 180 lb guy can play in this NfL
I won;t be replying until later tonight, yep,,,,,bump! So far nobody is agreeing a 180 QB would work.
