SIAP or already discussed: The over labeling of Height is dumbfounding to me. Why do the schools do this (knowing that they will get measured at the combine)? Do they think it is a mental advantage against opponents?

It’s to keep the pundits from discrediting the player as an nfl prospect. If Kiper and McShay are writing you off before you’re even eligible for the draft it hurts draft stock. Should it? No. You also have to swim with the rest of college football. A guy like Bryce is always assumed to me shorter than his listed height. If he was listed at 5’10” they would assume he’s 5’8”.
