Dang, well, I had no idea he was that small. ECU had a kid from Alabama a few years back that was returning punts for TD's left and right. He was about 5'6". I know that he played bouncy ball, but remember Spud Webb? That boy could play some ball. He was tiny. Maybe this kid will be a fire cracker and make big plays despite being short. Have faith. You don't get recruited by Bama unless you can bring it.

The last time I went to a practice I remember seeing Brooks and thinking he was someone's little brother. He is so small he literally looks like a child among men. He's so short, he makes Mike Laborde look like Yao Ming: http://tinyurl.com/yamm ! Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the boy! I just don't believe for one minute that he'll be a legitimate threat as a receiver.
