MOBILE, Ala. -- When it comes to the quarterbacks here at the Senior Bowl, the National Team, with Kenny Pickett, Carson Strong and Desmond Ridder has it all over the American Team in terms of size.
After all, at 6-foot-3, Ridder is the shortest of the National quarterbacks. But he has more than two inches on each of his American Team counterparts, North Carolina's Sam Howell, Liberty's Malik Willis and Bailey Zappe of Western Kentucky.
All of the American Team quarterbacks are taller than the magical 6-foot threshold, which can be a real issue for a quarterback in the NFL -- though less so than it used to be.
