Wasn't he supposed to have a little more height?
realtick;3859486 said:I can't seem to find the official heights and weights for the DBs, but someone should have taken my bet regarding Prince Amakumara's height. I would have wagered a good amount of money that kid wasn't anywhere close to 6-foot.

All of the players are listed at simple-numbered heights: ex 6', 6'1", 6'2", 6'3", et cetera.
They have Ahmad Black at 5'10" even, when he measured in at 5'9.3" at the Senior Bowl, which is to say he's 5'9 and 3/8s.
I use this link: http://www.steelersdepot.com/2011-nfl-combine-results-running-backs/
(It updates once the official numbers come in)

realtick;3859503 said:I'm a stickler for specifics, so exact numbers are what I gravitate towards. The example I gave with Ahmad Black is a good example; 5'9 3/8" is not even halfway to 5'10", so that's a bit of a difference in my mind. In effect, Black is closer to 5'9" than he is 5'10".
Now is that little bit of height going to make a huge difference on the field? Probably not. But I just want the true numbers as they are, not rounded up.
GloryDaysRBack;3859508 said:I can understand this..no doubt..me? not so much of a stickler on specifics..
bottom line is, if Prince is listed at 6 foot..at a bare minimum hes a small 5-11, which is still taller than you expected lol...not that it matters to me
realtick;3859528 said:Lol, okay.
I said he wouldn't measure 6' or anywhere near the 6'1" some sites listed him as recently.
If he's under those claimed heights I will have been proven correct. If he's 5'11 7/8" I'll even concede I'm wrong, but if he's on the shorter side of 5'11" I sure the heck won't.
GloryDaysRBack;3859534 said:If hes listed at 6 foot by walter..my guess is that he is on the higher end of 5-11..i guess you do have to wait for the official numbers to come in..doesnt matter to me, I wasnt a part of this debate and I am not trying to get into it now..just trying to help...

BTW, I've searched the Web up and down and haven't found any info on the DBs heights and weights. I hardly think BAN-INCOMING-IN-3-2-1 has exclusive rights to this information. I'm certain that info is unofficial at this point.
johnnyd;3859553 said:Hey just the other day you were suggesting i was arbitrarily making up heights![]()
bottom line for me is unless we get lucky and PP falls to us or we trade up to get him then i don't want a CB in r1 period even in a trade down which if we do we better get a O-lineman.
realtick;3859560 said:Um, no. Reread the thread johnnyd, I never claimed you were arbitrarily making up hieghts. I clearly said the college sports info departments make up generous made-up heights and weights, which you agreed with.
I even gave you a few examples in which the descrepancies in heights/weights compared to the official ones can't be argued with.
Like I said, once the official heights are listed and if I'm wrong, I'll gladly hand out apologies.
