(Heck, the Celtics listed Larry Bird at 6'9" for his entire career, but everyone that played with him said he's closer to 6'11".) The Jaguars listed him as 5'9. So did the Steelers. So does the NFL. I doubt he shrunk an inch since signing with the Packers. The only thing to glean from all the measurements out there is that there is no consensus on his height but it's most likely somewhere between 5'8 and 5'9 with most sources putting him at 5'9. Any 5'7 measurements seem to be drawing from his college days. We all know that men can continue gaining height until about 22 or 23. Subjectively speaking, he doesn't look to be any shorter than Gore, Martin, Charles, or any of the other backs listed as 5'9". I don't see any reason he can't be a regular starter due to size. None at all.  And Harris is in that range. So what if he's closer to the smaller end of that range? If you have a specific reason he can't be the starter going into next year, other than his height and weight, then I'd love to hear why that is. You did say he was only backup/COP material.</blockquote>
