I would think it is, but if he is an honest 5-11, and the pro day measurements said he is, then there are shorter corners defending well, and he is athletic enough. But I wonder even then if his body is big and tough enough to take the punishment. Maybe he is one of those rare players with a very narrow professional use. I just don't know what it could be
My god. Elastic Man. He was 5-11 on the roster, 5-11 on pro day, and in New Orleans is 5-9. I think even that is a stretch but maybe it is the humidity. He does have some muscles, though, and he would need that frame. Good luck to him.
A friend at Clemson, who did stand next to him near the sideline, thought he barely hit that mark wearing a helmet. But some guys on the board weren't buying that, like Johnson is the world's onliest football coach who doesn't fudge his roster measurements. I suppose that's why the pros take their own measurements. But 5-9 guys have made it up there, and we could see how muscular he is. But 5-9, maybe 175, is going to get rocked if he makes it. Maybe that 2015 battering he took got him ready?
Given the Texas sidestep shuffle of NFL contracts, I gather that means he can't go anywhere but they can cut him at any time with no obligation. Anybody know?
