The Chargers have no problem using players who are considered “small” by NFL standards; look no further than Darren Sproles, who at 5’6″ and 190 pounds was one of the most exciting multi-threat backs in team history.
This season, a number of smaller guys are looking to make the initial 53-man roster. Artavis Scott, the team’s leading receiver in the preseason, is 5’11” and 195 pounds (Mike Williams is 6’4″ and 220 pounds). Troymaine Pope has become a fan-favorite to make the roster, and stands at 5’8″ weighing 205 pounds. But will they be left off the roster entirely, simply because the Chargers are moving towards bigger players?
