One of Alford's supposed strengths are his ability to track and high-point the deep ball.  Steve Smith is probably the "best-in-class" on these, and he isn't a very tall guy, either (I still LMAO at "Ice up, son").  

Alford has blazing speed and that is what is needed at the "X" position...be a vertical threat that the opposition must keep a safety back to account for.  I would think with his height that he might actually be a better fit at "X" than in the slot, and Andy does have a tendency to hit a little high....
