Athlete height listings are often inaccurate, with a tendency for players to be listed as taller than they actually are, especially in sports like basketball and football. This can be due to a variety of factors, including players being measured with shoes on, players growing after being initially measured, or intentional exaggeration for various reasons, such as perceived competitive advantage.

This is true.

You suggested he is barely 6ft tall which is 100% speculation

so that one says 6'1" and with the expected and usual exaggeration that goes on - he is likely 6' tall or just under...that puts him the same size as Schoen and a bit bigger than Case, smaller than Clercius.

Could be a great signing but he isn't a huge receiver who is going to tower over DB's

I was thinking it means no Reggie White Jr. Surely he'd have been the first call back.

Speculation on his size continues.  Someone needs to take a tape measure to practice lol.  Fan of facts over guesses.

Blue In BC

It would be nice if he's on the taller size but can he play well is more to the issue.

Adding depth, there is a reason White is gone.

I m not sure this guy even adds depth, and we have enough 'depth' recievers, we need guys who can make plays. Other than Demski, who's out there making plays and bringing fans out of their seats?? 6 yard check down curls aren't going to cut it. We need a bonafide #1 who makes things happen.

if you give zach time our recievers are more than capable.  demski can catch the bombs, Wheatfall as well.  the issue is o-line. if the oline is dominant the best running back in the cfl will feast.

We have good receivers as zipp points out.  One of our top guys is hurt, which happens. Yes he adds depth but we will know more once he practices and we get some info.

Who the heck cares how tall he is? Calgary didn't beat us because their receivers are three inches longer.

Milt Stegall is 6 foot. Ontario Wilson is 6 foot. Greg Carr is 6 foot 6. Julien Edelman is 5 foot 10.

It only matters if you're good.

cause we recently got torched by a 6'6" canadian rookie who will likely be in the nfl next season. that's the only reason.  our biggest problem isn't receiver - it's o line and d line and secondary

NFL Draft Scout is one of the most accurate places for Football players I would put money on the 6'1"
