King, what do you attribute that "typically" the skill position players are black?

Facts. Look at the recievers, backs, defensive backs for all of the top 50 teams in college and throughout the NFL. Defensive linemen and probably linebackers too. You will find that the vast majority are black. On the flip side, look at offensive linemen and you will find that most are white. Why this is the case is something that I don't know the answer too. But the facts are there. That's why I don't get bothered with analysts point out these things.

I think that is something that is changing rapidly. Already the D-Line seems to have had a shift and I'm sure the O-Line will follow. What will be interesting is how long it takes for a shift to occur at the QB position where racial stereotypes are still common. It doesn't take a genetic engineer to realize that the top athletes on the planet are all black.
