re: Why are certain positions in the nfl predominantly one race of people or another?

There seem to be more white receivers now than 10 years ago..I could be wrong but it’s just what it seems like. It’s pretty obvious that black people are faster and speed matters.

I would say you e gotta be pretty athletic go be a tight end. Being athletic doesn’t just mean being fast. Speed and athleticism are no always 100% synonymous with one another.

Some of it is a holdover from when the 'signal-calling' positions (QB, C, MLB) were reserved for whites. Old-school coaches didn't believe blacks could handle those responsibilities.

Don’t Africans have a different build? It’s subtle but they have a different torso hip ratio

Black fellers have bigger dongs so it helps with cutting and side to side motions.
White fellers, with their smaller dongs, are better at standing in the pocket or running in a straight line

I’ve read assertions that blacks have longer limbs and shorter torsos which makes their center of gravity much more balanced. Couple that with the fast twitch muscle fibers and that is why the black man is more athletic vs whitey and his Neanderthal dna.

Has there ever been a black FG kicker ?

There hasn’t been a starter or back-up white corner as their normal position in probably 10 years in the League.

Africans twitch faster but weaker, and relax faster. Whites can apply more power slowly.
Science. Fast twitch muscle fibers vs. slow twitch muscle fibers.
It's the reason why sports and positions that require quick, explosive movements are dominated by blacks (sprinters, basketball players, etc.)
It also the reason why elite strongmen and powerlifters are typically huge white dudes.

People say, ah...we'll never see this again.
And it's usually just crap.
Because next year, somebody beats it or a team eclipses it somehow.
But we will never ever ever see a white guy win the 100M dash again.
The last white guy to win the 100M in the Olympics was in 1980...because America didn't show up and there were 5 white guys in that race.
So barring boycotts, a white guy is never going to win the 100M again all things considered and everyone participates.

It goes back to an old school mentality in pee wee league and high school. Coaches put them in those positions then they kind of stick there once in college. Granted most DB's probably played WR or QB in High School as well. There's plenty of white WR's and RB's in the lower divisions of college. Most are passed over by major colleges. Ed McCaffrey is a Unicorn but he got help getting noticed because of his pedigree.

Does Plumlee run track at Ole Miss? Might be the fastest guy in CFB.

Lemaitre of France is probably the closest in recent history.
