Why football linemen should throw shot put
Fifteen offensive linemen were named to the 2017 Associated Press All-America teams.
Eleven of them threw shot put in high school.
This is no mere coincidence, as an astonishing number of elite football linemen competed in track and field throwing events like shot put or discus during their high school days.
Which @NFL All Pro football linemen also won a HS track state championship in shot put? #multisport #ATHanalytics
