You think if he was 5'11" and 185 he'd be the 3rd pick in the draft just because he's fast?....i don't think so...perhaps he would be a mid rounder if he were a different size. The dude only had 1 TD and 700 yards last year as a reciever.

Imagine this guy as a wideout...a 200 lb corner would literally throw him like a little girl off the line...I really dont see why he is wasting a NFL spot...this guy is dead meat...and it's a bit embarrasing to have a guy smaller than a 8th grader on our team...the guy is gunna get killed out there.

I disagree.
Punt returners can take big hits but they aren't that common. Kickoff returners often take bigger hits but they run directly into the kickoff coverage and they don't have the option of fair catching a ball in play. Do you remember Dgreen Dante hall taking any kill shots?

You play the guy in the slot and that solves the problem of him getting off the line.
Even if he was split wide, most corners are going to have to respect his speed and give him some cushion, if not, easy six for us.

His size is not that uncommon. Mark McMillan had a solid 8 year career at corner. That guy had to deal with every single player trying to run him over and he held his own.

I'm not going to start the Brandon Banks Mancrush fanclub but he deserves a shot.
