They might be Giants...

[Mr. Scot]

As of right now, the Panthers only have nine players on their eighty man roster that are under six feet tall.

 

The shortest players on the team right now...

 

RB DeAngelo Williams  (5-9)

RB Kenjon Barner  (5-9)
FB Mike Tolbert  (5-9)

RB Jonathan Stewart  (5-10)
WR Kealoha Pilares  (5-10)
CB De'Andre Presley  (5-10)
CB Charles Godfrey  (5-11)

CB Josh Thomas  (5-11)
CB De'Quan Menzie  (5-11)

 

About half the list is runningbacks and about half cornerbacks.  You might notice that the sub-six crown includes only one wide receiver (Kealoha Pilares).

 

On the flipside, there are twelve players measuring in at 6'5 or higher.  They are...
 

QB Cam Newton  (6-5)

WR Kelvin Benjamin  (6-5)

TE Greg Olsen  (6-5)

T Byron Bell  (6-5)

G Phillipkeith Manley  (6-5)

DE Wes Horton  (6-5)

DE Alex Hall  (6-5)

QB Derek Anderson  (6-6)
TE D.C. Jefferson  (6-6)

T Andrew McDonald  (6-6)
T Oscar Johnson  (6-6)
T Travis Bond  (6-7)

 

The majority of the 'tallest of the tall' are linemen on one side of the ball or the other.  But also on that list you have two quarterbacks who top 6'5.  In case you're wondering, the shortest quarterback on roster right now is Matt Blanchard, who stands 6'3.  You'll also see two tight ends listed.  There are currently six tight ends on roster, and the only one who stands shorter than 6'4 is TE/FB tweener Richie Brockel (6'1).

 

So a dozen guys 6'5 and up.  And - without listing them all - to that you can add eleven guys who stand 6'3 and sixteen who measure in at 6'4.  That totals thirty-nine total players at 6'3 and up, right at half the existing roster.

 

I haven't done a study of average height across the league, but I think it's fairly safe to say that as far as the Panthers go, the team braintrust seems to have a preference for guys on the top end of the height chart.

3 of the guys under 6 feet probably won't even make the final roster. So really, 6 on the team.

[Darth Biscuit]

I think I mentioned that I saw Derek Anderson at Quail Hollow last week... I was shocked at how big he was. That dude is huge.

[FearTheCats]

Wow I didn't realized Gaffney was 6'1. Taller than I thought.

[TheRed]

I didn't realize Derek Anderson was that tall.

[PantherWake]

Derek Anderson is one tall mf. I thought he was like 6'3".

[TylerVagyler]

I don't if he counts but Denicos Allen is only 5'10". I think he'll make the team as a STs guy.

[Ruff]

I didn't realize Derek Anderson was that tall.

Yeah. I thought the same thing when we first signed him. Then, I was at the training camp shortly after he arrived, and he is a big dude. I mean, he and Cam are very similar in size.

[csx]

The Canadian is 6'8"

[Ruff]

The Canadian is 6'8"

... Which one?

[Mr. Scot]

... Which one?

 

David Foucault.

 

He's not actually on roster right now.  He's just been invited to try out.

 

[Porn Shop Clerk]

if norwell pans out, we'll seriously be able to run up the middle for the first time since 2003

 

even deangelo

 

heh.  norwhale.
