Can you play NFL football at a height around 5′5″ and make good money from it?

Think of the guy is very strong and fast to take on with the big guys on the team.

Yes

No

Years ago, I believe before I was born, there was a good five-FOUR running back named Claude "Buddy" Young. Trindon Holiday, a kick returner a few years ago, was five-five, and present-day running back Boston Scott is listed at five-six, but is likely an inch shorter. Those are the only five-five or shorter NFLers I can conjure. In short, as 60's singer Linda Scott once sang,"Don't Bet Money, Honey" on your chances of being a sixty-five-inch "tall" NFLer.

I'm saying yes. I'm trying to remember this guy, a running back. The defense never could find him till he shot out from the line. Suddenly Webb could slam dunk at 5'6".

Barry sanders was 5'8" he was pretty damn good.

No, I'm too busy playing drums. I don't play pansy games.

Are you 5 foot five? You can try to be an NFL kicker if you’ve got talent

[Iron_Man]

Unless you’re a super fast running back

Aside from being a kicker/ punter it’s not likely they would succeed at much else.

[OtterMan68]

no, punt/kick returner

Unless you're a once in a generation RB
