It’s as if the Mannings and Luke said the same thing.

But thank god for the Huddle and it’s HOF GMs and scouts.  We can all come here and learn a thing or 2 from some real football people.

Like how we would regret Passing on Andre Dillard for a Undersized edge rusher from FSU with a spin move.

It's never this serious

This article determines that smaller people (in terms of weight) are less prone to injury than larger players--here is part of the conclusion:

"Fielding a team of 195-pound offensive linemen is probably unwise, but focusing on players at the lower end of the weight range for their positions may offer teams some modest advantages when it comes to injury prevention. All else equal, if a team has a choice between a 180-pound defensive back and a 210-pounder, they may want to go for the lighter guy."

Like AJax who was afraid to tackle and every time he forced to play physical he gets hurt?

Ronde Barber was a great tackling CB. He ranks 3rd in tackles.

His size? 5’10” 184.

Jackson is always hurt with leg injuries. Hamstrings seem to linger and most recently torn Achilles. Those aren’t typically from tackling/contact.

To be fair, there's a big difference between being the hitter vs the hittee

Ronde Barber is nearly 50 years old.  He was in his prime 1990s and early 2000s.  The game and players were very different back then.  CBs were also allowed to hold and pull.

Yeah but that response is in context. He referred to Jackson being scarred to tackle and always hurt due to his size. I showed a smaller player at the same position that wasn’t.

I get that.

I also remember "tackle monster" Eric Reid all too frequently going for a big hit and completely whiffing 😣

I’m talking about tackles and injuries at the position. Isn’t that what you were mentioning with Jackson? Holding and pulling aren’t really relevant to that conversation. 
We can bring it current if you want. The top tackling DB last year was Jalen Pitre safety from Houston. 5’11 198 with 147 tackles.
