If anything, being shorter is probsbly an advantage because you have a smaller strike zone and a guy like Murray is someone you want to get on base by any means. I could have listed many examples of MLB players and all the reasons you cite are valid, but Altuve is MAYBE 5'6", so that completely takes Murray's height of 5'10" or 5'11" off the table in baseball. A few QB's named Russell Wilson, Drew Brees and Baker Mayfield are doing pretty well in football as well. The height thing is antiquated. But the main thing for us is that the more QB's available in the draft, the better.

It will be possibly the most interesting qb prospect ever. I just can’t imagine him not getting hurt every year though the baseball background could help him like Russell Wilson. 20 minutes ago, LSHMEAB said: I could have listed many examples of MLB players and all the reasons you cite are valid, but Altuve is MAYBE 5'6", so that completely takes Murray's height of 5'10" or 5'11" off the table in baseball.

That is what I do know. The question will be him getting into the right system and if he can find his throwing lanes. He's definitely as short as they come for a QB. He succeeded in college in a Spread system. I think he will need a lot of looks from Shotgun in the NFL.

With the way the game has evolved, I could see him succeeding. Really could. He's a little shorter than the guys I mentioned, but his mobility/arm talent is probably superior. QB's with baseball backgrounds have done pretty damn well in the NFL.

If he was even Baker’s size, that would be one thing. But man, it’s a super risky move.

I had seen a number of articles stating his real height was 5'9". But there seem to be rumors now that he's more like 5'8" . At some point , height does matter.

I had always heard 5’8 1/2 during the season but we will get official measurement at combine in a couple weeks. Here he is next to (Tua in the middle) Haskins who is 6’3. Hard to tell as Haskins is leaning slightly and Kyler’s hair is worth at least an inch. Edited February 12, 2019 by YoloinOhio

If eye level and seeing over the OL is what counts for QB’s, his eyes are closer to Tua than Tua’s are to Haskins.

And Tua’s height won’t be that big of a problem but he is definitely smaller than I thought. i think Haskins is going to be a Star if he gets to sit behind Eli. 2 minutes ago, OldTimeAFLGuy said: ...put 'em next to Danny Divito....he'll look like 6'5"+............

YoloinOhio Posted February 12, 2019 Author Posted February 12, 2019 I finally figured out who Kyler looks like. The toothless kid from Stranger Things. 1
