Im still ****ed about Brevin's ranking. Not because of the ranking itself. Their reasoning is bull****. That screenshot of Barton Simmons talking about his height made it back to Brevin, who then said something to Simmons about it. But Rivals did him the same way. I read a breakdown of their TE rankings and there was a debate over whether he should be the
#1 TE. Heard it again on one of their podcasts. It came down to his height. They even admitted that he's probably the best TE and will be a monster at Miami, but he is not 6'6. They claim 5* influenced by the NFL draft and the NFL takes measurements like height very seriously. Ok fine.
Since they like to look at classes in 4 year groupings (representing freshman year to senior year), there have been 4 TE taken in the first round since 2014. These are their heights and weights, taken from the combine. I mixed Brevin in with them.
6'6/251
6'4/250
6'4/246
6'3/250
6'3/234
If Brevin's size is such a negative, it should easily stand out. And their talk of him barely being 6ft makes no sense. Wasn't his height and weight measured at the opening?
