Makes no difference at all. NFL safeties range from 5'9" to 6'3". Marcus Allen of the Steelers is 6'2". So is Maurice Alexander of the Seahawks. If you can play the position, you can play it, regardless of height.
So we either have an NFL caliber tall safety, or another also ran?
I stand by my observation. You don't see a lot of really good tall safeties.
I would love to have one, but the odds are against it.
Why is he leaving Minn.?
