Not too surprising. Most schools add an inch or two to every player's height and some add a few pounds on their weight.

I still think he is going to be one of the best WRs in the draft. Size can only mean so much. Jefferson will make the plays on the field

Cleats and arch supports gets right to 6’3”.

He’ll be fine.

The people who lie more about sizes and speed than colleges do, are high schools

LSU gives you an inch automatically. Sometimes an inch ++. It’s nothing new

You cannot blame LSU for wanting to help their athletes in any way, program listing, Pro days, you want to present them in the best way. Many colleges and high schools list their guys this way in the programs, generous with measurements/testing numbers, it's why the combine is such a big deal, independent measurements and testing, all athletes under identical testing conditions.

Is that a typo? Why not 6-1 1/4? Or did you mean 6-1 3/8?

I’m curious to see if Fulton even cracks 6’0”.

It's an open secret that athletes are always listed taller and heavier than they really are.

Not a typo. Apparently the combine only produces measurements by the exact number of eighths.

Combine does everything /8

They don’t do 1/4, 1/2 etc

That looks about right, I met JJ and Terrance Marshall after the OK game in Atlanta. I'm 6 foot tall and Marshall was significantly taller,about 4 inches, than me and JJ no more than 2 inches taller.

Beckham and Landry are barely touching 6 feet. Even crazy Antonio Brown is 5'10. Height really means almost nothing at WR anymore unless you're a freak like megatron. These route running, YAC players make all the money.
