Deadlift said:There are people who say, "Where is the White Calvin Johnson, Terrell Owens, Dwayne Bowe, Randy Moss?"
How do we properly counteract this question? If Whites are forced-down to FCS and D2, then shouldn't some tall, ultra-dominant Whites come from there?
these White athletes are abundant, year after year. several tall, swift wideoutshave been mentioned already, so i'll try not to repeat their names. andi won't bother mentioning guys who are playing college ball now, because those should be evident from the posts on the site. but i will provide a short list with the caveat that it is hardly exhaustive.
and as for big, i'll only list guys 6-3 and above, althoughincluding 6-2 guys would create aLOT more names. virtually ALL of these guys were record-setting receivers at their respective institutions, and they could all run (most with verified 40 times of 4.55 or faster).
please feel free to use this quickly-compiled list to "counteract" the "question" of "Where is the White version of whomever ... "
