I think Ginn is the tallest looking short guy I've ever seen. I was shocked when I read he's only 5-11. It's strange, but he plays a lot taller than his height.

He looks taller because he has freakishly long legs.

Perennial All-Pro
He's listed at six feet on NFL.com.

CC is only 5'11" but also plays much taller than he is...
Duper and Clayton were 5 foot 9 respectively.. And they did pretty well against Mike Haynes and Lester Hayes of the Los Angeles Raiders (two of the best corners in the league at the time) .. And the Marks Brothers did pretty damn well against the rest of the league to boot. .

That's just something everyone has said to knock his route running, it isn't true.
I can name 7 routes off the top of my head I am 100% sure I've seen him run. I could do more most likely except I only saw two Ohio State games he played and I wasn't paying that close attention to him.
1) Fly (or a 9 route)
2) Slant Route
3) Curl Route
4) Hitch Route (yes they are different)
5) Deep In Route (Or a 10 and in plus a few yards)
6) Post Route
7) Stop and Go Route (If you want to count this)
AND YES, FIELD POSITION IS VERY IMPORTANT. LOOK AT THE CHICAGO BEARS WITH HESTER. THEY MADE THE SUPERBOWL BECAUSE OF HIM...
Field position is not only important for the offense, but for the defense as well.. Let's say we have Welker and he returns it to our own 20 .. And then we have a 3 and out and have to punt.. All of a sudden, we are punting from our own 10 yard line and the other team wil have good field position - and our defense will have a shorter field to work with...........................................Now let's say Ginn returns that same kick to midfield.. If our offense has a 3 and out, we punt from our own 40 getting the ball deep into the opponents zone helping our defense ... Special teams, offense and defense all go hand in hand.. Football is all about a territorial battle .. Secure as much land as possible with the attempt to get to the opponents endzone .. It's a simple game really..
He does look much taller...Chambers is only 5-11 as well and he can jump with the tallest CB's in the league so height isnt always a factor..Although Im not sure what Ginn vertical is..I think Chambers is somehting like a 42 or 44

He looks tall because he is skinny and has long legs. Plus he is now even going to look more taller and more skinnier because he is going to wear #11.
That number makes any player look really skinny. I personally would have given him Clayton's old 83# Or found a way to make him #7 that would have been hella cool.
BTW: I am 6-2 195lbs and have only 13.5% BF I would tower over most of the players on the team.

Yes he did but every route was rounded off, No cutting. So has POOR route running ability. That is the knock not he cannot run routes.
