Also, I think wide receivers fall into a category of sports where steroids won't help most. Your muscles lose flexibility and "feel".

Agreed. Recievers need agility, speed, good hands and the ability to accelerate in and out of cuts . Steroids don't really help with that stuff.

Straight line speed != the ability to make sharp cuts and run good routes != agility. But obviously they're all related.

yeah, I just disagree with the premise that steroids wouldn't really help a WR very much. speed and quickness are gigantic success factors for a WR, and steroids help with both these things. they also help in brute strength, which is probably an underrated trait for a WR to have

I don't have any numbers on it, but WRs testing positive seems pretty uncommon.

I'd love to see a position breakdown of NFL players caught for PEDs and compare that to the total player pool for each position.

The idea that PEDs don't help basically anyone at any position in every major professional sport is pretty laughable.

What about designated holder Koy Detmer? Please tell me how PED could have helped him

I missed what you were getting at.

Now that I think about it more, you're right. The olympic sprinters are all ripped to hell, and a lot of them are on steriods, so I guess it does help your straight-line speed and acceleration.

As for brute strength, sure it's cool when TO tosses some little DB aside like a ragdoll, but I don't think it's a particularly underrated trait for a WR. It's useful, sure, but not nearly as important as the other things mentioned.

size is important in a WR.. strength is kinda meh
