These lists keep getting better and better. For point of reference, this would be the top ten short guys in the NFL.

Anyway, #2 and #1 are the ones you wanna read.

2. DeAngelo Williams, Panthers RB

The 5-foot-9 Williams enjoyed his breakthrough season in 2008, leading Carolina's dynamic RB duo along with Jonathan Stewart, who is listed at 5-foot-10. The Panthers' 2006 first-round pick ran for 1,515 yards last season (third in NFL) despite only 273 carries, plus topped all players with 20 touchdowns while more than doubling his combined production from his first two seasons.

1. Steve Smith, Panthers WR

One of the top two or three receivers in football, Smith (5-foot-9, 185 pounds) has earned four Pro Bowl berths and remains a top-notch deep threat and reliable target for Panthers QB Jake Delhomme. Smith ranked in the NFL's top five in both receiving yards (1,421) and yards per catch (18.2) while topping everyone with eight 100-yard games (tied with Andre Johnson) and an average of 101.5 receiving yards. If not for his early-season suspension for slugging a teammate, he'd have probably led the NFL in yardage. The most amazing part of Smith's game is his ability to win jump balls, often against double coverage from taller cornerbacks.

we've drafted a lot of average or above average size players... I wouldn't expect them to draft a 6'5 CB or RB.. WR, yeah, Jarrett is tall.

Can't say I agree with "we've never drafted really tall players"... Most of our draft picks are average size for their position..

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Mel Kiper said he would retire if Jimmy Clausen wasn't a successful NFL starter too. Just because the experts make a claim doesnt mean it's true either.  Bryce may be a serviceable QB for someone. Serviceable QBs don't bring you a perennial winner or lead you to the playoffs over and over. Serviceable QBs also dont get 50m plus per year deals which is what a Bryce extension would look like.  The stats show he hasn't been even a serviceable QB in the 3 years he's been here. The eye test shows he hasn't put together 2 franchise QB salary games back to back in 3 years.  Complain all you want about people being negative, but people pointing out that Bryce is held to a different standard than anyone else on the team isn't complaining. It's stating the obvious.

      We have big bodied WRs and 3 TEs who all have potential and each bring something different to the table. I never saw the need to go out there and try and find a new starting TE.  While it's nice to have a guy like McBride, Bowers, etc, I think a team's better use of the cap is by having TEs on rookie contracts or cheap vets, not having to pay elite TE money.
