vernon davis is short for the TE position also
the point is his height isn't a liabilty, Kellen Winslow was thought to be 6'5 or 6'6, but he measured out at 6'4 and he is still playin well at the position. Peterson was wasted at LSU because of poor QB play, hardly throwing to him, who knows what he could have done if thrown to regularly. Not sayin he would be elite in the NFL, but could have been a decent TE if his career at LSU would have been better.

yes, it is

davis got a slight pass b/c he was an amazing athlete, and he hasn't exactly been amazing in the NFL

height won't kill you if you're still good enough (see: aaron hernandez), but you better be awesome to make up for it (which davis did with his workout). it sucks for d-lo, but his production isn't great (not all his fault) and he's going to have to prove he's capable (b/c there isn't much film of him dominating on the field in college)
