You won't be alive to see it. Evolution never stops.

Pretty amazing to see the 40 times and broad jumps for people who weigh 270+

It's one thing to see the corners and receivers run 4.2x, but when a 280lb man runs as fast as jerry rice, it's shockingly impressive.

with genetic engineering it will be amazing to hopefully see how badass humans can be.

Hopefully I don't die before they figure out how to upload our brains into a server so we can live forever.

Not much and still be able to successfully play pro sports consistently. Hence the countless amounts of soft tissue injuries sustained each year , many of which are non contact. Too much open space and just too powerful for connective tissue to keep up with.

yeah even if we unlock the genetics of this cow and apply it to humans



we'll have to figure out how to make our ligaments and tendons that much stronger

The older you are the larger this question can loom. As an old fart I can remember when interior offensive lineman were a hundred pounds less than today- and less athletic.

Reviewing the 1967 Saints starters...

Ray Rissmiller T 6-4 250
Roy Schmidt G 6-3 248
Joe Wendryhoski C 6-2 248
Del Williams G 6-2 240
Jerry Jones T 6-4 260
