Just read over the last 20 years only 7 have played in NFL games, most of which weren't full time or season long starters.
Today all starting 64 and their back ups are black.

Weird... never even thought about it.

It's a culture thing though. Starts at pop warner. Coaches decided who is "athletic enough" who is "strong enough" who is "smart enough" to play certain positions.
Why aren't there black kickers? Why would you waste that athleticism on a position like kicker. Surely he's fast enough enough to play CB or WR.
No white corners? Not fast enough or athletic enough, I assume.
Shoot... most white WRs are of the slot variety no? Not usually really fast, but quick and twitchy or good route runners.

Kinda silly really but by the time college and NFL comes around these guys have been told what to be and molded into what they are.
Here's to hoping the next generation starts to break the mold much in the way black QBs have started to really break through.
