Exactly. These blowhards that spend years and years evaluating talent in the NFL (especially UND talent) are so freaking arrogant ....... that run-of-the-mill fan board regulars are actually BETTER evaluators than they are, because we have no pre-conditioned bias's.
FU National Football League!!
Might be that there is no precedent for 5' 9" FCS linebackers. I would highly doubt he's disqualified from playing LB based only on height. If he had the ability to play linebacker in the NFL, he would be playing linebacker in the NFL. Teams will take chances on guys who've never played football, but have the ability to contribute.
