Abstract
The article examines if short cornerbacks are becoming obsolete on defense in college football. Through the last 30 years of the 20th century, many notable cornerbacks were less than 6 feet tall, because their other physical attributes, primarily speed, allowed them to more than compensate for a lack of height. The development of wide receivers with the same physical gifts who are also taller than 6 feet means smaller cornerbacks will need superior game intelligence and toughness as well.
