This measurement is bullshit because it doesn't account for less than 1% of the population who are professional athletes.
Here is the link if you want to make fun of then for still using this stupid argument in 2024

Haha what a fricking r-slur, linemen do not have <= 10% body fat. Average lineman body fat is 24.8%, 25% body fat is considered obese for men.
are less healthy than even the general public, and it states that 60% of them have metabolic syndrome.

You're right, I got terminology confused
, though I suspect that Redditor did as well and was also thinking of linemen. (Linebacker average statistics are almost identical to average NFL player statistics.) From the statistics I saw, linebackers have an average body fat % from 15-19 (perfectly fine numbers) and are, on average, 6'2 and 240 lbs (with the new BMI calculator that's a 29.4 BMI). So yeah BMI is inaccurate for them but they are the elite of the elite, and their BMI is at highest around 30.

You could argue that being sub 10% body fat is unhealthy. This b-word is cray.
