Best Answer

260

In the very early days of football it was rare to see a lineman that weighed over 250 pounds. But as training regiments became more sophisticated the weights have risen. Hall of Fame offensive guard Gene Upshaw, who played between 1967-1981, weighed 255 pounds. Hall of Fame defensive end Gino Marchetti, who played between 1952-1966, weighed 245 pounds. Today's linemen almost always weigh at least 280 pounds and many weigh over 300 pounds.

Plus steroids play a large part in the drastic weight increase in today's linemen.

Running backs, wide receivers, quarterbacks, defensive backs, and kick returners can weigh as little as 175 pounds but usually weigh more. Offensive linemen and defensive linemen can tip the scales at well over 300 pounds. Tight Ends and linebackers are generally in the 235-260 pound range.
