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..

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
