Title: Bomber DB's
Post by: Blue In BC on February 08, 2026, 03:52:38 PM
Just noticed that most of the rookie DB's signed so far are 6'1" or taller. I made a similar comment about the rookie DL earlier.

Is this a newer trend by the team getting more away from what I remember more recently?

That's a very good trend, if Jamal Parker had better size he might still be on the team.

After another check we have 60 players on the current roster listed as 6'1" or taller and only 25 that are listed at 6' of less.

Might need to order some extra tall pants for TC. lol

This feels like a fairly even split for a football team. I'm not sure it's a change from any other year.

Two of the FAs we signed to starter positions (White and Moxey) are both 5'9", so I don't think there's a sweeping change in our recruitment philosophy.
