Could be that he wants to get into college coaching, and this is one way to get in that door.

I'm often wrong, but I just don't see how a 5'9 QB plays a lot of meaningful snaps in that offense, so it may be a non-issue. As Bear noted above, the only example of a guy that size playing QB in a non-option offense that I can remember was probably Jayson Foster under Chris Hatcher.

Foster is a unique case, though. He was a freak athlete and GSU's offense in those days was school yard stuff. Foster would take the snap, tuck the ball, and run until someone stopped him.
