Overlap occurs, but you end up with some serious segregation of certain positions. I don't know if it's some deeply ingrained stigma or what, but it's odd.
I can't recall the last white CB in the NFL. There have been some good white FBs like Hoge and Alstott that contributed toting the rock. On the other side, you kind of wonder why there aren't more black QBs, at the very least as backups.

There are plenty of white RBs that trickle through. All of them suck, and the once every 10 years or so when you get a white guy who rushes for 1000 yards, he's a glorified FB.
The Watts are a standout football family. One of them is perhaps the most outstanding pass rushing DL guy I've ever seen. He's got a brother who will become a pretty good passrusher.
What about the middle brother? Worthless crap FB. Pretty good FB, but he's still a FB.
