Roger that.
Didn't say the individual's weight would be a show stopper in and of itself. His ability to carry his share of the load would be.
We had a guy on one of my teams who weighed 135-145 pounds, but he had proven himself in the 82nd and brought a ton of resources with him when he came to the team. He could hump his share and then some, and had a heart the size of Texas. But if he had been 180 pounds in the same condition, it would have been a lot easier for him.
