See Cook, Jimmy Dickens & Shockey, Kelcey & Gronk. All at least 6'5 or greater. Prospects Foster & Warring are big dudes too.

Luckily for us, Brees will target Cook in the redzone. Match up nightmare.

And it's not just height, it's wing span, or in the more contemporary - catch radius...

To the uninitiated in draft talk, most people don't understand that one inch in height could mean three to four inches in total reach, extension...

With the exception of a few overrated QBs, most NFL QBs can accurately lob a ball to within six inches of a target - that reach makes all the difference...
