(Matt Jones doesn't count, he never made the opening day roster.) That seems like it's still pretty damning. You can't even say it's a short thing. Shipley is 6'0.
Jones doesn't count because he didn't make the final 53?
What about Kevin Walter?
Or your namesake, Brian Leonard? (since you're calling Burkhead a white WR, Leonard should get the same title)
The thing is, neither Walter or Leonard were shifty (same as Whalen), so there would be no reason for that comparison, even though they were also white.
Same can be said of Chase Coffman, Tyler Eifert, or any other white TE that has taken a snap in the slot.
