Quote:He is not 6'1''/ Anyone who has met the dude in person will tell you he is 5'11'' top and apparently he tried to put on weight in the offseason and it affected his speed. The prototypical SS is at least 6'0'' and 220lbs. If Weddle is playing SS then it is not a traditional in the box safety. Anyone safety who is 200lbs playing SS is because the team is using two high free safeties and doesn't have to worry about that player being in the box.

I mean all the official measurements have Peppers as 6'1. If he put on another 10 pounds or so he would be hit your weight and height quota. Point being that size won't be the issue that keeps him from playing SS.


I don't really buy the hype with Peppers personally and think he'll end up being a better college player than an NFL player. Hard to figure where he will play in the NFL. He's not good enough at coverage to play CB. 100% going to be a first round pick though. Might blow up the combine too.
