I don’t think it is, honestly. I think there’s probably some other factor that plays into the lack of white CBs in the NFL.
Perhaps it’s the bias that white people are not as athletic as black people, sort of similar to the notion that white people are smarter than black people leading to the idea that black people just weren’t smart enough to play QB for decades.
There are tons of fast, athletic white dudes out there playing WR. I’m sure a fair number of them could have been successful CBs in the league.
Hell, Julian Edelman played CB briefly in a pinch and he wasn’t half bad.
