BOL Round Table

Does anyone know what the University listed Hightower's height at? (sarcasm)

Take 2" off most of our players to get the real number (not all but I bet its a pretty big number of players). I wish they wouldn't do that crap because I really do want to know the real height and weight.

I'll be shocked if his real height is much over 6-2. I do not think he is an inch taller than CU. Maybe a half inch.

I think it's going to be interesting to see if general managers see him as a 3-4 OLB or more of a 4-3 rush end.

I'm just not picturing Upshaw in a 4-3 defense. Some 3-4 team needing a hybrid will grab him long before he falls far enough to interest a 4-3 team IMO. Someone could surprise me and take him as an end, but his value would be in doing what he's been doing all along. Plus, I think there's too much risk involved in drafting him high and teaching him the end technique, not to mention the risk that he adds weight and loses too much quickness.

I'm 6-foot-1, and AJ is definitely a good bit taller than me. 6-foot-4 may be a slight stretch, but probably only slightly rounded up.
