But if there ever was a large football player who also played baseball and maybe was about 6’7 250, he would most likely be either a Tight End or a Linebacker but even at that weight he probably would be a quarterback if he had any kind of arm.

That's all excellent information, thanks!

Are there any minimums or maximums that I should be aware of? For instance, it's pretty much given that a player has to be at least 6' tall to be a major-league pitcher. Are there any comparable "rules of thumb" for football players. Also, I assume that most every NFL draftee is a college senior, which means they're mostly 21-22 years old. Are there any exceptions to that rule? Does the NFL have an age cut-off for draft classes?
