A 6'4" HB?!

[Instant C1a55ic]

Drafted him in the second round. Guess i didnt notice how tall he was till i saw him in the backfield. Has there ever been a HB that tall in the NFL before? Should i convert him to WR? hes 77ovr with B potential at HB

can the guy catch?

Re: A 6'4" HB?!

I'd say that it depends

If he's 6'4 220+ pounds with decent trucking, leave him there.


If he's 6'4 180, move him to wide out and see what his rating is

Re: A 6'4" HB?!

Brandon Jacobs is 6'4"; Eric Dickerson is 6'3".

Re: A 6'4" HB?!

Eddie George was unusually tall for a running back at 6'3"

Hes 6'4 245, trucking is at 88.

Guess i should have done some research instead of asking if there was anyone else lol. Didnt realize Brandon Jacobs was that tall. It's like watching Frankenstein in the backfield especially with John Kuhn at FB and hes only 6'0.

I've come across 2 6'3-4" HBs in the 20 or so classes I've looked at so far. One white guy, one black.

It's cool that the developers added a couple but made sure they were rare.

Re: A 6'4" HB?!

Keep that dude at HB! What a monster. Dickerson was a big one at 6'3", though he was obviously more fluid and faster than this guy probably is. I'd just ride with him for the sake of his sheer monstrosity.

Re: A 6'4" HB?!

Eddie George,Christian Okoye,Brandon Jacobs,Eric Dickerson come to mind im sure there were others

Re: A 6'4" HB?!

Okoye was only 6'1 but he did weigh 260 lbs and ran a 4.4 40...he was talented but he had awful hands he could not catch a cold,i hated seeing his knee injuries end his career back then.

Re: A 6'4" HB?!

Glad to see this stuff toned down a bit. Last year they had a RB Brandon Jones who I think was 6'9" 270lbs. I haven't looked into the classes that much but way too many crazy fast players in madden 11's classes
