No, I wouldn't call the white guy throwing the ball obese, either, but the offensive and defensive lines are FULL of fatasses. Hell, even the halfbacks are usually tubby.
Yes, the running backs, wide receivers, kickers, and kick returners are all athletes...They do not account for half the team. I play NFL 12, I know these things.

There's more to athleticism than endurance, TUG. I already told you this. A guy who "looks" fat to you may actually be a fantastic athlete and perfectly healthy. So what if he can't run for as long as Feetball players do without needing an oxygen tank? I bet they can lift more weight than those Feetball players do though. But you aren't interested in physical strength, only in physical endurance...which is a completely arbitrary measurement of health and athleticism.

I can only move 10 seconds of every 60 or I'll have heart failure, but I'm an athlete.
Yeah, those guys epitomize health and athleticism.

you're a funny guy!
OL averages about 10
DL averages about 8
Fat ass TE 1
Big RB 1
again that's of 53...
your reference above of 296 OL fatasses is only of 1696 roster players in the league, and the OL is the bulk of the fatasses.
you should play Madden 12, it's better than whatever this NFL 12 is

Yeah! That's the one...I'm pretty sure now that I think about it, I only have Madden 11, because I have Tiger Woods 12, NHL 12, and FIFA 12...
I changed my mind, I am an idiot for spending $39.99 on these games every year...

Explosive speed and strength in short bursts is indeed what partly constitutes athleticism. It's the same thing that allows a DE to get around an OT, it's the same thing that allows a shortstop to get a jump on a ball and make a fantastic catch/throw, it's the same thing that allows my boy Derrick Rose to cross fools over and dash from the top of the key to the rim in a blur.
endurance is NOT the only thing that makes a healthy athlete, for the 3rd time. By your logic, short distance runners are complete crap and only long distance runners are true athletes.

"An average match lasts approximately 1 hour, 15 minutes, while an
average tennis match can last up to three hours. In 1985, a comparison
was created between the 1985 Wimbledon title match vs. the 1985
badminton world championship match. The average distance traveled by a
badminton player in a singles game is 3.7 miles and the average distance
traveled by a tennis player is 1.8 miles. So in half the time,
badminton players travel twice the distance than tennis players."

Ohhhh, so they're not obese, the BMI chart is what's messed up.
When 100 pounds of flab hangs over their shorts, their necks are 80% jiggly, they have pornstar size boobs, and 20 seconds of effort requires oxygen....it's the BMI chart that's doing them injustice. 
Wait, wait....
It's a good thing I know you're not actually this dumb.
