A 6'4" HB?!

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

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

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.
