Hands are 9 7/8 inches so that is a plus going for him.

Russ Wilson was that height

Drew Brees was 6'0

I don't see a problem here

In that link it shows that he has bigger hands than the other QBs. He'll be fine.

Won't be too bad.

The Humble Russell Wilson burst through the too short glass ceiling. Ensuring future generations of undersized QB's will be treated as equals to their taller counterparts.

Similar in stature, but Drew and Russ go to Charity events on their off days, Manziel tries to make it rain on bitches at a Drake concert.

Guys on ESPN, Mike and Mike I think, pulled up Brees' combine measurements and said he was 6'1. I was surprised by this.

people make too much of his lack of height…

the reason he won't be as effective in the NFL will be due to going faster, smarter, and more instinctive defenses that have broken down mountains of film on the guy…. not saying he'll be shite, but he's not gonna be able to run all over the field like he did in college…

the height issue isn't much of an issue for GM's anymore. I think Brees and Wilson have obviously proved it doesn't matter

Brees took advantage of the tippy toe exception before the Combine rule was passed

I think he falls out the top 5 now...maybe top 10. Still a first round talent but his stock has slipped

I think his complete lack of ability to stay in the pocket for more than 2 seconds is a way worse problem than his height.
