[Husker] Is This Submarine Duty?..THANK YOU!

[Roger & Sue]

Thank you to all who responded and further enlightened me regarding college DBs.  I especially appreciated this message which does show the stature of the Pro DBs.  (I don't follow Pro ball).  

I do recall several NU DBs 6'1" or less I believe that were great players...Mike Brown and Baron Miles for instance.

I was hoping during the season that we would draft some taller DBs since I attributed some of the difficulties last year's DBs were having to their small size.  Perhaps it wasn't their size as much as their maturity as a player and possibly skills as an athelete.

Thanks again!s
