Great as a 5'9 CB he is, even he is human. I certainly wouldn't want to see a 5'9 CB running down the field with Alshon Jeffries only to see him get abused simply because of the height difference. 6'5 against 5'9. Not sure he'd need to put much effort in catching the ball at the highest point...and if he did, would be impossible for TM to do anything about it. With Simon, you have that opportunity because he is much taller with longer arms. The balls he slapped down in the spring game are prime example. The one JJ threw to RR was a well thrown deep ball. Simon just reached around him and made the play. A normal DB probably couldn't make that play because they don't have the arm span Simon has...
So you have to be a tall cornerback and long arms, basically what you saying...
So why is Darrelle Revis arguably the BEST cornerback in the NFL? How do you explain that? Simon is much taller and longer than him

Revis is like 6' tall...he isn't a short CB. And no, you don't have to be a tall CB. I'm simply pointing out what advantage a WR would have on him. He is too valuable to lose in the Nickel slot and he matches up physically better with slot WRs anyway...
