As we did with the wide receivers several weeks ago, we’ll break down my “true heights” for the 2015 NFL Draft defensive back class.
A refresher. True height combines a prospect’s regular height, arm length, and vertical. In theory, if a player fully extended straight into the air, you’d find his “true height.” This metric obviously has its flaws, such an event rarely happens, but recognizes shorter players with great verticals who “play tall.”
The chart below with analysis following.
| PLAYER | SCHOOL | HEIGHT | ARM LENGTH | VERTICAL | TRUE HEIGHT (FT) | TRUE HEIGHT (IN) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Byron Jones | UConn | 6’0/5 | 32 | 44. |
