[@scottweisel3640]

I remember when the Steeler drafted Weegie Thompson who was around 6’6”. They would loft balls up to him even when he was covered and hope he could out-rebound the defender. He certainly wasn’t dominant, but serviceable for a 4th rounder.

Highest winning percentage in the LAST 90 YEARS. Above Shula. Above Lombardi. Only one guy above and it was 100 years ago. Strong argument as being most popular, by _both_ players and fans. So enigmatic that they named a football game after him. Was so beloved that people were interested in where he ate in cities before games. Or in the booth. Made Thanksgiving great again. Created awards in his name and NOBODY argued his choices. Talk about a man that could do not wrong. Made heroes and folk legends of less famous players just for making one historic play - with or without their helmet missing !

[@BigE1293]

5:24 to add on to your 3rd point about tall guys normally playing TE or lineman, I think that's mainly a coaching thing. When a 6'5+ highschool player says he's a receiver, 90% of coaches tell them to bulk up and play TE. As someone who was 6'5 and 185 lbs my senior year of highschool (bulked up from 160 to 185 at my coach's request), I hated being slotted in as a blocker at TE instead of lining up on the outside as a primary receiving target and ended up quitting the team cause of that. The transition from highschool football to pickup games in college was super fun tho 😅

THANK you for showing 24 Everson Walls being beat on that outtro Carmichael touchdown, ha ha. Everson was a nice guy, a great guy, but I watched every play he made and he was beat over and over and over and over. That positioned him perfectly to intercept underthrown balls, more common than you think, as QB is hit or pressured. Most people only saw him on weekly highlights and thought he was great. Unfortunately he was beat more than any DB I've ever seen. BTW, he was on the cover of Sports Illustrated - being beat by Dwight Clark making "The Catch".

I honestly feel like extreme height or lack of height both have it's strengths and limitations where as a lot of players 6'1-6'3" have the best chance of succeeding/having the best of both PS Grant was traded when David Montgomery went down so Khalil Herbert didn't have to return kicks anymore to fill in at RB

What is that word for someone who just voyages through the internet seeking something to criticize, just for the sick satisfaction of the endorphin rush from telling others they are wrong, when in reality they are just pathetically wrong? I'm sorry, I'm just having trouble coming up with the word. Sorry I'm so mentally slow - can you come to the rescue?

[@billybussey]

I have been discussing this topic for years. I played corner when I was young and | was 5"9. I think receiver size is a response to corner size. Corner size is a response to receiver size in return. Both follow trends in football that last years. Smart coaches are the reason it happens. Because of this players cannot be compared from different eras. This applies to all positions in team sports really. Often teams that are not good in one era will adapt first and start trends in the following era. Shifty receivers will do well in an era where big corners started to work against big receivers. Understand? It is a never ending cycle that is the basis for successful strategic coaching like Belichick pulled off.

[@kenspeedbicycle]

Jakeem Grant is one of my favorite Madden pickups in Fanchise mode. put him returning kicks for the first season and return them all to be the leader in kick return yards for some great XP for the next season and then becomes a decent WR for slants/deep routes

Carmichael was unstoppable. As you've said, receivers could be hit a lot more in that era, but Carmichael had such arm length that he could often avoid contact at a distance that still afforded him separation. Of course, the 'throw high' strategy was huge as well. Truly a great NFL player.

Matt jones was 6'6" for the jaguars, but he was a converted qb who never really panned out.

[@3Dsjk]

I remember Matt Jones made waves when he ran a 4.37 in the 40 yard dash at the combine. Converted QB or not, hard to not to take a chance on a guy like that; you can teach a guy to run routes and catch passes, but not how to be tall and fast. That situation in Jacksonville was pretty interesting for going against multiple stereotypes; the fast, athletic QB moved to WR was a white guy, while all three QBs on the roster were black guys who were not particularly athletic at all.

[@trumpetperson11]

I think what these videos miss is the important information that what is average in the NFL is not average in the real world. Meaning that, there is a greater pool of the exceptionally small players to pick from than exceptionally tall. That means that if you are in the NFL and you are short, you have already proved yourself as a competitor at many points in your life. As opposed to the 6'6"+ players, who are generally rare in regular life. This means that likely, at many points in their life, they probably were able to take advantage of that even if they were not the one trying the hardest on the field or frankly, just not that good at the sport other than "being tall". Obviously everyone is good in the NFL, but I would bet you that most of the small guys had to work for it much harder to get there.

[@extragoogleaccount6061]

I don't know about your last line. But I agree that he should have talked about the average more, especially when he said that players plus/minus 3 inches off the average tend to be more rare. But if the average WR height was....say 6'0, then we should have been comparing 6'3 guys and 5'9 guys. Going to the extremes was fun too, however. Also, like you mentioned, seeing the representation of certain heights in the NFL relative to the general population would be cool!

[@ryangeppi9718]

Good call. He had some numbers. 2 possible reasons for his exclusion: 1. Played for the Jags. Nuff said? 2. An ESPN piece talked of him being benched/inactive; his agent whining; and "coach Jack Del Rio defended the move, even though he had earlier ripped Jones about his on-the-field body language. Del Rio indicated Jones takes plays off and pouts when he doesn't get the ball." The next year he was tagged for substance abuse, and again; then never played another down. But he had some numbers.

A video about the shortest and tallest linemen would be cool.

[@DrZaius3141]

The thing about tall and big receivers is that the defense could always find a big and tall defender to cover them, so unless they got super speed as well, there's just not much to them. Finding a defender that's agile and shifty enough to keep up with a tiny speedster is hard, because they'd be one-trick ponies on that defense.
