To be fair, 50% of our secondary was white.
CB is the one position you never see a white (or other non-black player). Sports Illustrated touched on possible genetic advantages black American athletes might have wrt playing CB. It's obviously a very taboo subject, but I think it should be open to discussion.
ETA: OSU's Dustin Fox was one of the last dinosaurs

To be fair, though, calling Sehorn the last of the white cornerbacks means ignoring the dozen or so snaps Dustin Fox played for the Eagles and the Bills in 2006 and ’07. It means overlooking Ethan Kilmer’s single magnificent snap as a corner for the Bengals in ’06, and it completely neglects another member of the Cincinnati secondary that season, the real Sehorn—the last white player to start a regular-season NFL game at the position.

One of our CBs was white, so.

As an anything I would rather be known for intellect. Also Tom Brady used intellect, not impressive physical skills, to win 6 Superbowls rings so I'm not even sure what point you are trying to make.

At the skill positions and secondary, yes. Up until Urban arrived, it was the athleticism in the trenches that separated OSU from the SEC most years.

Agreed. Our linemen are much more athletic and lean now and it shows.
