Size no matter for Mizzou's E.J. Gaines

Smaller in stature, E.J. Gaines can be as big as they come on the football field. Listed at a generous 5 feet, 10 inches, Missouri’s junior cornerback plays like he has the size that most football players dream of. Sure, genetics have helped with his athleticism and speed, but his relentless attitude and thirst for physicality make up for what he loses with his height. Gaines, who earned All-Big 12 honors as a sophomore, embraces his smaller frame because it gives quarterbacks a false sense of security.
