Top 10 Smurfs in the NFL?

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

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.

Isn't Munnerlyn a little on the short side too?

yep...one of the reasons he fell so far

[dimbee]

Maurice Jones Drew is a ridic mighty mite... thought he'd be a bit higher

[Lt Pinkerton]

Julius Peppers is the only really tall player we've drafted D-:

Indeed.

Still, that's a pretty small amount. I guess we haven't drafted too many of the "tall positions." (QB, WR, TE) All of the WRs CBs RBs we have drafted have all been on the shorter side.

Smith is so great that I tend to forget how short he is. Mater of fact, I dont ever consider that a LIMFAC (limitating factor) when it comes to him and football.

He is a joy to watch, and we are lucky to have him.

what a find!

[Mother Grabber]

Otah isn't a player, he's a Winnebago. They actually drafted him to be Fox's version of the Madden cruiser, it just happened to work out that he fit in as an OT. Who knew!

Decori Birmingham

Larry Beavers

Paul Chiara

[bleys]

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..
