As a person who follows the NFL draft and does some (incredibly) amature scouting of college players I completely understand that a players natural size and speed limits their potential upside and ability to be graded as an insanely valuable prospect. It's a huge reason why Jason Verrett (CB from TCU) went so 'late' in the draft and wasnt the top corner selected. His size limits him to likely being a limited outside corner or nickel back in the pros. But Verrett was so productive and showed exceptional skill, he was still a first round pick despite his poor size.

Size and raw athletic ability limits their ultimate maximum potential, but probably only 5-10% of players ever reach their true maximum potential anyways. On field production sure as heck makes a difference, and as floridas DPOY, Hoggins has shown that in Spades.

We can only hope that he comes to play for us because others turned him down for size issues. He and Shy (who has other reasons than size) can become good Chip buddies who are walking around campus with titanic sized Chips on their shoulders.

Would be fun as heck to watch it unfold on our campus if that's the case. Heck somebody get Bam, Cubs and Kelley on the horn with their kids so they can track down Hoggins and get him in then fold.
