Speaking of Harvey, it seems people question his size (listed as 5'10 167) but haven't heard anyone really question the size of Tulu (5'10 170) but they are both virtually the same. Just seems a bit strange.

I honestly do not care if he is the size of Danny Devito. We just need someone to catch the ball.

People are willing to overlook certain things for four stars that they aren’t for less highly recruited players.

Tulu is more athletic apparently, but I would say Rufus is more polished right now. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if Rufus has the better career of the two.

Size for a receiver is virtually meaningless. It's great to be 6'5" & 220 lbs and run a 4.3 40, but if you can get open and catch the ball, it really doesn't matter.

I fully believe they will both be very successful in this system. Will it transition to the NFL ? Probly not but there are short receivers and punt returners playing every Sunday. Julian Edelman, Wes Welker, Steve Smith and several more

I feel like the small slot 3rd down receiver is an NFL staple now. Cole Beasley comes to mind. Get open past the marker, catch it, and hold onto it.

The Patriots have won a bunch of Super Bowls with a series of "too short" receivers.
