I was reading an article (coach from a different team) said; “He has to learn to play bigger than his size”
What does that mean, really?
I think of guys like Darren Sproles, maybe... small in stature but he always plays “like a guy bigger than he is, because you sort of forget he’s small”... Is that it? DeSean Jackson another, particularly weight-wise.
But... Can you “learn” that?
Tavon Austin, for example, is always tossed around like a light/small guy. Can he learn to be otherwise?
Maybe it’s how you run and make contact... Sproles runs like he plans on taking you on, at least at some point.... Austin runs like he’ll run away from you?
The comment “He has to learn to play bigger than his size” may mean something different by position, too?
