So when you find a guy that is 5'9" and plays at that high of a level in a power 5 conference you have to accept he is special.
It's just narrowminded people who want to be like... he's not 6'4" he can't play outside. Again.. Ja'Marr Chase is "listed" at 6'0". Would like to see what he would have been measured at the combine not his Pro Day.
If he comes in at 5'11" I'm pretty sure everyone would be like... "oh no worries, short guys can succeed outside" but since it doesn't back your argument stance... short guys can't do it.
If you can play, you can play. That's it.
Playing outside in college and the NFL is totally different though. Much bigger and stronger and smarter guys will eat a lot of those smaller guys up. MY preference has been to take Pitts in 1 and then OL in 2 or take OL in 1 and then WR in 2. I'd be perfectly fine with Sewell in 1 and Wallace in 2. I also would be prefectly fine with Pitts in 1 and Leatherwood in 2.
