Coming in with a BMI of 31.3, Bob Sanders - defensive end for the Indianapolis Colts.
I wonder how many pro athletes would be considered "obese" because of their BMI, despite the fact that they're not even ridiculously close.
He looks mighty fine, to me!
I think BMI measurements are a bit flawed as they consider only height and weight. But muscle actually weighs more than fat, so many athletes actually weigh more but they're not necessarily "obese" and they're definitely not unhealthy.

This. Athletes are obviously not obese or unhealthy, but regular people most are bith unhealthy & carry alot of fat. They may not "look" it, but fat is stored in may different parts of the body
A correct BMI is not measured by a height/weight graph. Its just an educated guess....which is not always correct. It doesn't change the fact that America is full of overweight and obese people...
