Stub labeling

Is there a reason there's still a stub tag to the section under the college stats? Is there a definition for stub that I'm unaware of? JohnnyRush10 08:01, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, start not stub. Prapsnot (talk) 00:59, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Shortest Player in the NFL?

Is MJD the shortest player in the NFL because if he is then this fact should be mentioned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BLUEballsBOY (talk • contribs) 13:42, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The shortest active NFL player is Darren Sproles 5'6", San Diego Chargers #43. Maurice Jones-Drew is tied at 5'7" with Garrett Wolfe, Chicago Bears and Shaud Williams, Buffalo Bills.12Dorsa152 (talk) 18:51, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, 5'7" is such a joke. I went to UCLA with M. Drew and I saw him numerous times walk past me. I even opened a door for him. He is shorter than me, and I am 5'7". I guarantee you he is not 5'7". No more than 5'6". I doubt he has grown since junior year of college. -Steven

The NFL combine has listed MJD at 5066 or 5'6 and 6/8ths of an inch. He is not quite 5'7. Darren Sproles was the shortest player measured player at 5061 or 5'6 and 1/8th of an inch. (note that combine measurements are taken within the first couple hours of the morning).

Please put the book cover of him in the article, people know the book's name I think they should see the cover. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.106.73.244 (talk) 17:30, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
