The people, particularly in south Louisiana, just aren't typically that big. A lot of lineman here carry bad weight.


This is the answer

It’s why LSU used to get their arse beat by the likes of Nebraska in the Sugar Bowl back in the day, I was there. Louisiana makes in general, or used to, short fat people.

I think you are forgetting the black athletes. LA has an elite amount of those.
