I dont think it's an either / or when it comes to size....I think what's a bigger determinant of success is that they are smart (ie capable of learning new things quickly), mentally tough (their highs aren't too high and their lows aren't too low....it's a delicate balance of confidence balanced with humility), and of course athletic ability. I think this is why I dislike TJ Green (and Pagano since he so passionately advocated for his recruitment).....The guy may be a very nice guy...don't know.....but he's dumber than a box of rocks. I heard him interviewed shortly after Pagano tried his experiment in moving him to a new position and he was all about hoping he wouldn't have to do as much thinking....of course as we've seen any form of thinking seems to be too much for the guy, including the basic judgment to know its foolish to launch your body on a pile after the play is so obviously over
