at 6ft 1and half.. 273 pounds.. I thought he was a lil taller. Although it wouldnt matter to me if he was 6ft 8 or 5ft 7 , I have seen him play and that is good enough for me.

Well they went on to say he looked like he was carved from stone.. So his weight is probably just fine.

Upshaw has always been listed at 6'2... so the half inch is not that big of a deal. Same height as Dwight Freeney and taller than Elvis Dumervil... I see the big difference in a guy like Marquis Maze who was listed at 5'10 and measures in at 5'7 3/4... even though I believe Maze will contribute in the NFL in some way

Upshaw is not a tall guy. I started noticing this when he would stand beside Donta' and he was like 2-3 inches shorter. Don't think it affected his play any. He was a sack machine this year.

I think for an edge rusher 6 ft 1 is perfect to get leverage and make it harder for taller tackles to get there hands inside you. I think that is right where NFL scouts would want him.

is he projecting at a DE or a LB in the nfl? If a LB, it seems like he could lose some weight to gain some speed which could be very useful in the nfl which is a lot faster than college. Just my thoughts.

Probably going to go to a team that runs a 3-4 and play the same LB/DE hybrid he played in our defense.
