Heights and weights (wink wink)

I've noted on numerous occasions that the listed heights and weights of college athletes are always to be taken with a grain of salt and used for amusement purposes only.

Sometimes I'm not sure if they even bother to measure.

I bring this up because wide receiver Dan Sheeran is listed at 211 pounds on UMass' two-deep chart. Why is that interesting? 

Because he's the only player on the depth chart whose weight doesn't end in either "0" or "5." Do you know what the mathmatical odds of that are?

I'm sure most of the weights are rounded off, which is harmless, but I'm amused that Sheeran's exact weight is critical.
