Sure, it just doesn't mean every single player is exaggerated by 2-3 inches. And I've read the ESPN article before, and it doesn't make a good argument comparing measuring in shoes for bball against measuring football players in helmets or the weight of boxers in gloves. Those are horrible arguments.
Combines list heights with and without shoes. It kind of makes some sense. Your standing reach, for example, while you're in shoes is more important than not. You're not defending someone barefoot.
I'm just saying it doesn't happen to every single player. It's a back and forth argument on CB. I've heard it all, from Haws is only 6'2, Taysom Hill is barely 6'0 if that, Cody Hoffman is only 6'2, Jamal Aytes is barely 6'3... etc. It's just ridiculous.
I bet you anything Worthington's is the most exaggerated on the team.
