I didn't realize Derek Anderson was that tall.

 

I didn't either... when I saw him it took me a few minutes to recognize him or I would've spoken to him.

[top dawg]

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.

 

You might want to add Benwikere to that list.

[CelibatePimp]

I like the idea of getting bigger overall. Hopefully it's not a blind focus on height like Al Davis' focus on speed and size.

[Gallagher]

I so want Frenchie to work out. Dude is gargantuan.

Site lists him at an even six feet.

 

[CarolinaCoolin]

Gaffney is 5'11

That would be really good if Travis Bond turns out being a good player for us.

[top dawg]

I suppose he could have grown since the Combine. :lol:  Some sites have him at 5'10 aand 3/4 inches, so he is on the "wrong" side of 5'11".  That vertical though...

Not on the site roster, he isn't.

I went by the team roster for measurements.

 

I'm sure they wouldn't fudge :unsure:

Because team sites don't lie about player heights at all right? Manziel was totally 6'1 at A&M. You are smarter than that. Come on
