this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I have a question for the football hive-mind here: What are the ideal physical dimensions for a cornerback? Does height matter? Weight? Darrell Revis: Height 5′ 11″, Weight 198 lbs Richard Sherman: Height 6′ 3″, Weight 194 lbs Chris Harris ...

I have a question for the football hive-mind here: What are the ideal physical dimensions for a cornerback? Does height matter? Weight?
Darrell Revis: Height 5′ 11″, Weight 198 lbs Richard Sherman: Height 6′ 3″, Weight 194 lbs Chris Harris Jr.: Height 5′ 10″, Weight 198 lbs Brandon Browner: Height 6′ 4″, Weight 220 lbs Ken Crawley: Height 6′ 1″, Weight 180 lbs Patrick Peterson: Height 6′ 1″, Weight 219 lbs Aquib Taleb: Height 6′ 1″, Weight 205 lbs Marcus Peters: Height 6′ 0″, Weight 196 lbs I thought this article was interesting....

That said, the physicality required today is to be able to be available for 16 games, be able to physically jam a receiver at the line, and... and, hope you play on a team with a pass rush that can get to the QB before the pass is sent to a WR bigger than you, breaking on a route before you... Many HS running backs use to resent getting to college and getting converted to a DB... But now it's evident that unless you're a Zeke Elliott or Alvin Kamara, for longevity, opportunity, and financial interests - today's NFL, you're better off being a DB... |

Physical gifts can only cover up only so much The huge thing is simple God given traits: Reaction, Instincts and FIQ Now when they figure out how to measure those, it is a crap shoot. |
