While the height is worrisome, the weight is more worrisome for me. He's listed at 195lbs, and his eyeballs will be floating at the combine in order to make him pass 200lbs. That means that when he is mid-season, his weight will dip even more though. I just don't see how 195 survives at QB, let alone as a running QB. That is 10lbs lighter than Wilson came in at, and he has since put on another 10lbs on top of that.

I'm not sure where a 5'8 QB puts on 20+ more pounds without it really slowing him down.

All that aside, this feels almost obligatory to include in the thread about a short guy.

Yep,

I have two major worries with Murray ! Like you say, size. Can a guy who might not even break 5' 9" really become an NFL pocket passer ? If he tries to run at 195 lbs they will break him !

The big 12 is far and away the worst defense in college ball he's faced very little NFL level defensive players.

I'd say he'll go in the first round but to me it's a pretty big roll of the dice.
