It all started with me having Ray Rice and Jason Witten on my Online Franchise team.
Ray Rice - 84 Strength - 77 Truck - 205lbs
Jason Witten - 73 Strength - 78 Truck - 263lbs
I always thought it was strange that Witten would sometimes fight for them extra yards by either carrying defenders or stumbling forward but Rice on the other hand goes down whenever tackled. Right off the bat that tells me strength plays little to no part.
I then created 2 HBs identical in ratings. Both 5'11, both 95 truck, 95 speed etc... Both also had 12 strength. The only difference was one was 180lbs and the other was 280lbs.
I then tested them out. I tried the 280 HB first and on only around 15 carries he stumbled forward or carried defenders a few times. The 180 HB had over 30 carries though and not once did the defense struggle to bring him down.
I have always thought weight played no part at all but after these little tests I am starting to think otherwise.
Anyway I thought what I found out was interesting so figured I would put on here.
