What does height have to do with anything.



Well if there’s a massive size difference between two guys, it’s pretty tough to call one a “clone” of the other.


Jefferson won tons of 50/50 balls during his time at LSU. I know we think of him as a guy who wins with route running—and he does—but the ability to go up and get it over top of a defender still is/was a big part of his game. That’s not going to be the case with Parker, regardless of how awesome I think he is/will be.


If you wanted to describe Parker as a miniature version of Justin Jefferson, I wouldn’t give you guff for that. But the fact is that the height difference IS a pretty significant factor when you compare the two.

I get what you are saying. I am not saying Parker will produce like Jefferson. 1/4 of JJs production would be a successful career. But their hip mobility, ankle flexibility hand location on catches, vision and acceleration into open grass all plays very similar.
