Can a guy that won't even break 5' 9" do it as well ? I have serious doubts. If he tries to run he will be busted up in short order unless he taps his inner Russell Wilson and fast.
More than the height is the weight. Dude's 190-195.
Also Flutie had "success". He's beloved, but he never threw 3,500 yards, he never threw more than 20 TDs, he had a career completion % of 54.7, averaged 6.8 YPA, 86 TD/68 INT (with another 14 fumbles lost).
That's great if you're an underdog 11th round pick like Flutie... but can you imagine if he put up that career as a 1st round pick like Murray might be? (Flutie also won the Heisman the year before being drafted, too, interestingly enough.)
