“But this is a sleep blog, why are you talking sports?” some may ask.
Well upon entering the sleep industry and learning about the disastrous effects of sleep apnea, I’ve always had a theory that the porous Redskins offensive line could greatly benefit from having a sleep study done. Note that the average weight of an NFL lineman hovers in the 300 lbs. range, and that most persons in that weight category suffer from apnea (in this case, Trent Williams – 315lbs, Erik Cook – 318lbs, Selvish Capers – 308lbs). In 2007, an MSNBC article pointed out that a staggering 75% of NFL linemen suffer from Obstructive Sleep Apnea!
