Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer’s muscular physique has sparked discussion about the trend of increasingly larger college quarterbacks, drawing comparisons to past players like Dan Kendra. The article explores whether this increased size is beneficial or potentially detrimental to performance.
Mateer has turned heads this offseason with his massive arms, leading to questions about whether he's gotten too big for the position. This comes after a history of physically imposing college quarterbacks, including Dan Kendra, who played at Syracuse in the 1990s and was known for being unusually large for a quarterback at the time.
The article notes that while size has always been an asset for quarterbacks, the recent trend appears to be pushing boundaries. The core question is whether exceeding certain physical limits could negatively impact agility, speed, or overall playing ability. There's no stated concern about *why* players are getting bigger—only that they *are* and it’s prompting evaluation.
