Maybe you'd want taller safeties, but CB's can be short (usually better, as taller guys rarely have the hips they need) and LB's don't need the same size as say, D-Linemen. If they can put on the weight to shed blockers & take on fullbacks, who really cares how big they are?

What I was planning on getting around to is, what was the name of the Arkansas MLB that everyone had passed on b/c he was too short? By his senior year, I think he was All-SEC and was a true terror. He was considerably shorter than 5'11". I wonder if Coffee can turn out to have that kind of impact. I'd take a midget if he could rack up 120 tackles a year. (Of course, that would be one tough short dude!)

I Don't think a mans size has anything to do with it. It's whats in his heart that counts.
