Yes, and no. ost warriors are like that, but as I said before, Hurin was
the mightiest of mortal men, but he was shorter than most of his kind. And you can't be a good warrior if you aren't atheletic - you'd be killed in the first confrontation with an enemy.
You're right about Elendil, though - he's even called "the tall".
