When you can play press man that well and allow 1 reception for -4 yds, I don’t care if you’re 4’11’’
Yeah... But he was 5'11 before we saw all of that. lol just saying, we got too many height lovers on this site.

I get it though, even our Head Coach love size(no pause).... Just saying.

If you’re going to be a sub 6’0 Corner you have to be a skilled in coverage or have elite traits that make up for it.

You can’t be a viable CB being short AND slow AND lacking coverage skills.

Height doesn’t necessarily preclude you from being a bad CB, but it’s an ideal; that doesn’t mean that every CB has to be 6’0 & higher, there’s plenty of smaller Corners who are very good in coverage, but it’s not the IDEAL physical prerequisite you’d want to have if you’re scouting a CB.

Like for instance, Malek Young was 5’8 but an absolute Pitbull in coverage, hence why despite his size he could play Outside & hold his own; but then you have a kid like Te’Cory Couch who is 5’9/5’10 & struggles immensely in coverage because he has poor technique coupled with not very good traits.

The same goes for taller CB’s who are are slow & can’t cover; it’s not the Height that determines the ability, but if you’re scouting/recruiting a CB you start with the Ideal H/W physical frame & then work your way back on the checklist.
