Quote:I totally understand why people think big guys have an advantage over small guys who play the same position. Taller is better, no doubt about it. But it seems people are quick to reject a player as too small when other "short" players at the same position are very successful in the NFL and rarely get hurt.

 

You know why the shotgun formation was created? Because it made visibility easier for the quarterback. That seperation from the linemen makes height less important to a team that uses it a lot.
