Darren Sproles

I knew the guy was short, but didn't realize he was this short:

"RB Darren Sproles was measured in at barely 5-5."

From GBNreport.com

Thats wrong, he is 5'7'', actually closer to 5'8''.

Where did you read that he checked in at 5-7 or 5-8 today? Are you sure that wasn't his inflated college listing? From everything I've read, he measured 5-5 today.

Every College and K-State state website lists him at 5'7'' and 3/4, thats even what they listed during every K-State game I saw.

It's not unusual for college teams to inflate players' height/weight, though. Every year, a number of players measure considerably shorter than their programs listed them in college.

Look at J.J. Arrington. He was listed at 5-11 in college, but measured a little over 5-8 at the Senior Bowl.

I can't believe he is only 5-5 He reminds me of a better Q. Griffith. Wasn't he up for the H.T. last year as well?

 

[Nors]

Sproles was 5 - 5 and 6/10'S


ARRINGTON AT 5-8?

 

[Sitting Bull]

I can't believe he is only 5-5 He reminds me of a better Q. Griffith.

He reminds me of a slightly taller Gary Coleman. Pass...

Looks close to Warrick Dunn's size, but I thought he'd weigh less just from what I remember of him. But he weighed in at 185 at the Senior Bowl. He's not what the Cowboys need, but I think he's got a chance to run the ball in the NFL, probably in a shared role like Dunn.

Weigh in #'s from Monday...

Darren Sproles, Kansas St. 5056 185

No he's not.
He was measured in at the Senior Bowl at just over 5'5".

 

[Nors]

No he's not.
He was measured in at the Senior Bowl at just over 5'5".

5-5 6/10 of an inch 185

Senior Bowl on TV today Dungy said he reminded him of Dunn. They were giving him a lot of props.

Remember Joe Morris! wasn't he 5-7 and play for BP?

 

[InmanRoshi]

I'd take him in the 2nd day in a heartbeat. Height is completely overrated measurement in a runningback (Barry Sanders was 5'7"). Besides, he was a complete workhorse in college, carried an insane worklodad, and never suffered any injury problems.

 

[btcutter]

Height maybe overrated but Barry Sander has very large thighs and stocky built. Sproles is going to be more fragile than Avery and we know how Parcell loves those RB. With that built, he's not going to last a whole season even if he just return punts.

That measurement may have cost him being drafted on the first day and maybe even drafted at all.

They had Mark Clayton of OU at 5'-9 6/10" & 187 lbs. Just a little smaller than I expected.
