It is a blessing, that great length and wingspan, readily apparent when he reaches up, seemingly into the clouds, to snare a pass thrown by Eli Manning that would be out of the reach of normal-sized mortals.
“That’s kind of the comfort zone when he puts it up there, just like in basketball,’’ Larry Donnell told The Post. “That’s where I feel most comfortable.’’
But that physical gift is also a curse, as tall is also a target, making it easier for smaller opponents to flip him over by cutting out his long legs. Tall is also a detriment when the rule in blocking is to get low for leverage on the player across the line — getting low for Donnell takes a whole lot more effort.
