His height is gonna hurt his draft status but you can make a long career in the NFL at 5'11" to 6'0 range at MLB. Many great middle linebackers have been around that height. I can probably name at least 20 off the top on my head. Being too tall at the MLB position can be a huge detriment. Those guys tend to be shorter and more compact anyway. Leverage is important for them. He may not get drafted high but he will be a productive NFL player in my opinion. He is too smart a player.

Some players of similar height to Minter or shorter. Not a horrible list. Minter will be a solid pro.
