Keep in mind that 100 speed is still only relative to their body mass, so no, he shouldn't be an RB, 'cause while he may have 100 max speed, that's 100 max speed for a 300lb lineman as opposed to 100 max speed for a 200-230lb RB.
I know speed/strength is,but I am assuming conditioning is not relative to mass or size or anything. DB's and WR's easily run 6 times the distance as a linemen in any given game. Lebron James is one of the few athletes that is so big yet runs so often and at or near top speed alot. It tough to be that well conditioned. Some of the NFL elites Rice or Sanders had unusual training programs that allowed them to be so good while others were left in the dust .
But most guys over 250 pounds generally will have a hard time playing at top speed all of the time.(muscle bound is a term thrown around the NFL) Because there large size uses so much energy to the point of complete bodily failure. A puking player is one of the first symtoms. Its why sprinters only run the 100 and 200 meters, maybe 400, but at that point of two minutes of spinting they pretty much maxed there liver out.
I have a 257lb LB who misses a tackle at the of scrimmage then runs down the back 30 yards later, alot. I'm not saying Condition or stamina is a problem. I just wish a game would reflect it the way I see it. But , really I don't even think Madden got that right either.
