There's an even article that was written by a former NFL offensive linemen (i forget his name right now) that played all 5 positions. He said playing center was the physically easiest position to play for him.

It's a Ross Tucker article on SI.com. Thing is height/weight ratio comes into play. Sure there are centers about the same weight as Rabach but to a man they're shorter w/ a lower center of gravity and probably stronger. Rabach is almost lanky at his height and weight...just gets pushed over by larger, stronger DTs.
