re: The coveted "bigger" corner

Honestly... Size doesn't matter. It's all about the player.

You can have a stud CB at 5'9 or have a stud CB at 6'3. Busts come in every diff shapes and sizes (pun intended). So do stars. All that matters is if the guy can play.

And both have strengths vs weaknesses. Usually the taller CBs play a little off and defend against the taller vertical threat WR. The smaller guys are a bit quicker and can play a true bump and run coverage a little better. This isn't always true for all players... But I find it true for the most part.

Plus, you gotta look at how the WR has evolved. Now most teams have a WR1 that is 6'2+ that is long and great vertical speed. And then the slot WR tends to be smaller, quicker, and does most of his damage on their short hot read routes. And the you have the WR2 who is a blend of both guys and does the middle. So, naturally, the CB position has evolved to stop them.

But the main thing that matters is he the dude can play. Regardless of size. I'll take a stud at 5'9 over an ok 6'2 CB every day of the week. And I'll take a stud 6'2 CB over an ok 5'9 CB. Doesn't matter as long as you can play.
