Who are you starting at running back? Gorilla or Kangaroo

A maxed out kangaroo would ideally be almost 7 feet tall around 200 pound's and could run 45 miles per hour. They can also jump about 10 feet in the air. While an ideal gorilla would be about 6 feet tall and almost 700 pounds and could run about 25 miles per hour.

In my personal opinion I would take a kangaroo as my running back. They come stock with a pouch that they could easily place the ball in, which would not slow them down at all. If you think the pouch would be against NFL rules, then they would still be able to hold the ball easily with their hands. If you run a deep shotgun formation and hand the ball to the kangaroo, you are not catching him by the time he reaches the line of scrimmage and builds a head of steam. On the off chance hat you do get in front of the kangaroo, his momentum would easily lead him to running right through you.

A gorilla on the other hand would have to walk upright, which would at least slow them down to about 10-12 mph. If you get enough players they could take down the gorilla, not every play, but they could work together to make a few stops. Also you would have to factor in the personal fouls the gorilla would get that would lead to multiple ejections. I will say if I'm looking for a linebacker I would choose a gorilla no doubt.

I've been arguing with my friends about this the passed day and interested to hear others thoughts.
