Not every receiver is Calvin Johnson. The reason that short corners still have value is because nickel has become almost a base package ever since the league changed the rules to favor passing. Along with that shift came a big rise in popularity for using smaller, shiftier guys out of the slot, ie Welker, Cobb, Amendola...etc. 5'7 is definitely on the shorter side of the spectrum but for dime and quarter packages it's really not that big a deal.

 

Exactly.  You're never going to want to line this kid up as a starter, but assuming he can actually cover, his height wouldn't keep him from playing as a sub deep down the depth chart, and certainly not on special teams either.  The Jets have had guys like Mickens and Coleman at 5'8 who both played nickel/dime with the Jets for years.  Who knows if he has what it takes to compete, but if not, height will not be the lone difference-maker.

Not that he has shown anything yet, but why aren't we going to want him as a starter?  All these ****ers are whining about missing out the great Cap'n Munnerlyn who is 5' 8 1/2".  I'm sure the extra 6 1/2" this kid jumps can never hope to make up for such a crazy height difference.

Extra 1-3" of actual height erases twice that in actual reach.  You blockhead.
