At 6-1 175 he's one inch taller but the same weight McNeil was as a HS Senior. He's one inch taller and 3 pounds heavier than Walls was as a Senior.
He's the same height but 9 pounds lighter than Sergio Brown as a Senior.

I'm not sure if your saying we should be looking at different types of guys or what but I think these are pretty average numbers for guys at their positions coming out of HS. For example the following 5 guys are probably the top 5 at their position in the upcoming draft and these are their numbers out of HS, these are Scouts, Inc. numbers.
Leon Hall 5-11 175
Micheal Griffin 6-0 178
Reggie Nelson 6-0 174
Darrelle Revis 6-1 180
Chris Houston 6-0 180
So again I wouldn't say we are really pigeon holing guys I think its just the average CB/S body type coming out of HS.
Outlined against a blue-gray October sky, the Four Horsemen rode again. In dramatic lore they are known as Famine, Pestilence, Destruction and Death. These are only aliases. Their real names are Stuhldreher, Miller, Crowley and Layden. They formed the crest of the South Bend cyclone before which another fighting Army football team was swept over the precipice at the Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon as 55,000 spectators peered down on the bewildering panorama spread on the green plain below. - Grantland Rice 1924
