In watching the camp footage they focused on the WR's at one point and there was a really, really, really small WR who ran a curl route. He looked crisp, fast and fluid. The footage was on Fri night in regards to Fridays camp during the second camp.

Then while watching last night I noticed about 4 really short WR's. I have figured out two but I'm missing two

13- Anthony Armstrong
18- Terrence Austin
15- ?
20- ?

I think #20 is who I observed in the video. I know 15 is supposed to be C.Brennan, and 20 is supposed to be Justin Tryon, but the video was definitly WR's with the QB's throwing to them so I know it must be invites who were given numbers to wear.

Ok, it's odd one quotes himself but I found out who #20 was....Brandon Banks at 5-7, 150lbs. I told you guys who ever it was was short. His drills seemed fast and crisp. I guess we'll see during camp.

Personally, I hope the league never gets rid of number restrictions. I HATE the fact that wideouts can now be in the teens. If we ever reach the day where a defensive linemen can be in the 20's and a kicker could have #99 I think my head would explode.

I feel the same way. I would hate to see a kicker in 44, or a QB in 55. Give me a break, there was a reason for this rule, (order), and it has worked well. I like that the NFL is progressive in it's thinking to improve the game and product for the consumer, but this is a good rule that doesn't need to be tweaked.
